The commission would find that over
capitalization is the only cause why the
consumer is compelled to pay the prices per
ton that have been demanded since the year

victim. This is the story: A few multi

Above Long Bridge.

The bridge will cross the Virginia chan
mel on a line about 1190 feet above the
drawspan of the existing Long bridge, or
about 1000 feet above the line selected By
the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad CON-
pany for its new bridge
According TO the board this line ls, eX-
cepting at the extremities at the Washing
ton and Virginia ends. sufficiently remote
from the Baltimore and Potomac railroad
to remove the disadvantage of passing
and repassing of steam railroad cars while
at the same time the distance to be trav-
ersed by heavy teams will not be material
". II any, greater than the route now
traversed by them between the Virginia
side and the foot Of 18th street in Wash
ingtOn.
Along lines to the west of that selected
the distance would increase materially.
/ ne channel crossing, the board says, will
be far enough above the Long bridge to
admit of tugs breaking up ice between the
bridges, when necessary, and will also ad-
nit Of small boats crossing between them
from shore to shore, besides affording an
opportunity for a tow passing one draw to
sacken speed, If need be, before passing
the other.
The total cost Of the bridge is estimated
a $4,000 and includes asphalt roadway,
granolithic sidewalks, curbs railing, lamps,
etc, for the approaches.

Approaches to Be Improved.

The board says that the earth slopes OF
the approaches, along the crossing of Po-
tomac Park. can be eventually soddcd,
spaces being left for trees, flower beds,
shrubs, etc, similar to those in some OF
the parks of Washington and other cities,
affording a pleasing and economical orna-
mentation The crossing of the park by
the highway nfringes upon the park area
and drives, but, the board says, 1t seems to
be unavoidable and the adjustment Of the
relation of bridge approach to park drives
and areas can only be harmonized when de-
tailed and final plans for both are drawn.
The plans for the approaches have been
left open for future determination in con-
nection with the Improvements of Potomac
Park.

Provision for Truss Bridge.

The approved plans provide for a truss
bridge to consist principally of eleven fixed
spans of PIC feet each. or 211 feet 6 inches
between centers Of end pins, and one re-
volving horizontaD drawspan of go feet
to afford clear opening of 100 feet on each
side of the pivot pier-the superstructure to
be of steel and to rest upon stone piers.
The structure is provided with double
track for the passage of electric cars; the
total width of roadway, for cars and We
hicles being forty feet between wheel
guards. and the sidewalks. one on each side
of the bridge. eight feet wide in the clear,
the total width of superstructure from out
to out of sidewalk railing being about six
ty-two feet. The sidewalks are of grano-
lithic spavement and the roadway of sheet
asphalt, supported on buckle plates. The
draw Is operated by means of electric mo-
tors. The cars will be operated by electric
power through trolley, overhead on the
bridge proper and on the approaches on the
Virginia side and sunken on the park APP
proaches on the Washington side of the
Potomac.
The approaches across Potomac Park will
be of earth embankment with moderate
slopes, excepting that a portion of the tidal
reservoir in Potomac Park will be crossed
by a steel plate girder, which may receive
more or less characterization. A clear space
of 100 feet is to be left between the south
erly end of the embankment and the sea
wall of Potomac Park for walks and drive
ways.

1t is claimed the delay was almost
