WIRES oNaAQUEDUCT BRIDGE.
Commissioners Renew Permit to Elec.
trie Power Company.

The District Commissioners have issued Il
permit to the Potomac Electric Power Com
pany to renew its wires on the Aqueduct
bridge with the following conditions:
THAT the wires and cables be lead cov-
cred. tF
THAT they be placed outside the trusses
and 50 far beneath the floor as not to ne
cesstate the removal of the same to make
repairs. -
That this work be done to the satisfac-
ton and under the direction Of the engi-
neer Of bridges
In his report upon the application Of the
work named, states:
Il am of the opinion that it is advisable
to have all wires crossing bridges put on
brackets or outriggers on the outside of
the trusses. and not between the joists OF
the floor. nor on the inside of the trusses
as the former position demands the re-
moval of the bridge flooring during install
lations and repairs. which Is Injurious both
to the flooring and the joists and impedes
travel during the execution of the work.
when placed between the trusses they
are menace to the inspectors and en-
danger the men engaged upon the repair
or painting of the bridges. Moreover the
wires seriously hamper the placing Of scat
folding incident to such work"
Owing to the great number of wires al
ready on the Aqueduct bridge Mr.. Doug
lass thinks it imperative that steps be
taken to improve the existing conditions.
