1t is stated by an engineer and general
constructor that the leak in the conduit
aqueduct as it passes over Cabin John
Bridge will ultimately affect the solidity of
that great arch, as already the constant leak
age has impaired the corners of several of
the stones. AS the spertures widen the
stones will more quickly wear away. The
perfection OF the arch lies largely in the
strength of perfectly fitting stones. 1t fol-
lows therefore that any impairment or wear
ing away of the stones of the arch affects
the strength of the entire structure. The
leak should be taken notice of now, said the
engineer, as the Cabin John arch is too
grand work from engineering and struc-
tural standpoints to suffer through negi.
gence. BY noticing and correcting small
imperfectons as they arise the arch will ex.
cite as much wonder hundred years from
now as it does to-day
