PROPOSED HIGHWAY BRIDGE.
Latest Provision in Approved speciaca-
lions for Structure.

tons Tor structure.
General Gillespie and Colonel Mackenzie
of the engineer department of the army
are giving close study and attention to the
subject of the projected highway bridge
across the Potomac with the view Of secur-
ing the best possible structure with the
available funds. Recognizing the general
demand for an ornamental bridge in har-
mony with the proposed development OF
Potomac Park. they are making their plans
accordingly. An instance of their close at
tention to important details is shown by
an important modification of the revised
specifications for the bridge.
The law authorizing the bridge provided
for tracks for an electric railway and the
original specifications called for an over
head trolley. 1t was at once realized that
trolley poles would mar the architectural
beauty of any bridge of the deck type ana
that their use would be highly Objectionable
unless bridge of the through truss type
was adopted.
AS has been already stated in The Star.
the officials Of the War Department nave
decided to open the competition Tor the
bridge to the individual designs OF the DID
ders and to give them every possible lati-
tude in the matter. The requirement 1or
an overhead trolley was therefore ADAM
doned and the approved specifications on
that point now read as follows:
'If a through truss design Is selected
the railroad tracks may be arranged TOT
an overhead trolley. If deck bridge type
is selected the tracks will be arranged Tor
an underground or conduit system
This action was taken after telegrapnlc
correspondence with Architect Burnham
at Chicago, who agreed with the engineers
that an overhead trolley on deck bridge
would be out of the question.
1t is expected that Col. Allen. the en-.
gineer officer in charge Of the Improvement
of the Potomac river, will issue an adver-
tisement in a few days calling for pro-
posaIs for construction of the proposed
bridge, giving the usual twenty-five days
notice.
