DIFFICULTY SETTLED.
Complications Over Designs for High
way Bridge Adjusted.

The recent complications in regard to the
designs for the highway bridge and the
Pennsylvania railroad bridge across the Po-
tomac just above the Long bridge have
been at last effectually Strengthened out
This satisfactory outcome was the result
of a harmonious conference at the War
Department, in which the participants were
Gen. Gillespie. chief of engineers; Col
Mackenzie and Col. Allen, corps of engi-
neers: Mr.. Durham of Chicago member
OF the District park commission. and Mr.
Plat, engineer of the Pennsylvania rail-
road.
An agreement was reached that the plans
for the highway bridge should be identical
with those originally submitted for the rail-
road bridge, with the general modification
In each case that the upper chords of the
draw spans of both bridges shall be per-
fectly horizontal, instead of slightly curved
as In the original designs The filters over
the piers are to be dispensed with in the
case OF both bridges. These filters had
been called for by Secretary Root on the
recommendation of Mr.. Burnham with a
view to the artistic improvement of the
structures by providing a continuous level
sky line. 1t was agreed at the conference to
dispense with these filters being unneces-
sary either to the stability or beauty Of the
bridges The sky line will be apparently
continuous without them.
In accordance with the agreement reached
Col Allen. the engineer officer In charge of
the improvement of the Potomac, was in
structed to prepare modified plans and
specifications for the highway bridge at
once. in order that the work of construc-
without further delay.
AS has been already stated in The Star,
both bridges will be Of the standard Pratt
truss type, with masonry piers.
