Ryan AND KELLY HAVE
STRUCK SOLID BOTTOM
Work on Foundation Piers
for New Bridge Is Now
Progressing

After days of what seemed to be an
almost hopeless task Ryan and Kelly,
contractors engaged in building the ele-
waited road through this city, have been
successful i'm finding solid bottom ON
which to build pier TO complete the
work on the south approach to the
bridge over the Brandywine.
Days heightened into weeks of al
most incessant work of dredging and
delving in order to strike a bed solid
enough upon which to erect the inn
mense cement base on which will be
raised a massive stone pier to support
a third track on the span. Cribs were
built and a massive steam scoop used to
lift out the earth as it was loosened by
the picks of many workmen. 1t was
found however that as the work of ex-
cavating progressed water constantly
seeped in from stream and upward
through the sandy soil. Then steam
pumps were brought into play and the
water was pumped out as fast as IL ran
i'm but no firm bottom could be struck.
After eXcavating. however, to a depth
of nearly fifteen feet below the river bed
the desired quality Of soil was struck
and the work of laying a foundation be-
gan. Today this foundation has arisen
to a point above high water mark and
the stone base Of the abutment is being
built.
