REPAIRING AoUEDucT BRIDGE.
Conditions More Favorable for Com
pleting the Work.

According to the engineer officer in charge
of the work of reconstructing pier No. 8 of
the AQueduct bridge. more visible progress
was made last month by the contractors, the
Penn Bridge Co, than during any similar
period since the work began. At the be-
ginning of the month, he says, pumping. out
of the cofferdam was commenced, after the
repair of the serious break in the dam
which had been the cause of about a
months delay in the work. Pumping was
continued steadily and early in the month
the bottom of the river was uncovered: No
leaks of any consequence have developed
since and by the local treatment of small
iniiows through the sheeting with as hes
or stone screenings the total leakage has
been reduced to an insignificant amount
for an Enclosure of the size of this dam.
One 6-inch centrifugal running intermit-
tently is sufficient to hold the water at its
lowest level.
The report says that there was settle
ment of nearly 31a inches in the towers.
carrying the "A" frames, at the end OF
June, which necessitated lowering the steel
trisses into their shoes and jacking and
blocking up the towers The trusseS were
raised again July I, since which time there
has been further settlement of about ia
inches BY July IL this subsistence had
practically ceased and the work of tearing
down the old pier was begun at once under
good conditions. A total of 975 cubic yards,
out of an estimated total of 1,210 cubic
yards had been removed by the end or the
month OF that material some Is retained

and the remainder used for the riprappins
the Virginia approach embankment of the
highway bridge.
It is expected that the work of demolish-
ing the old pier will be completed this
month and that the debris at the bottom
Of the river under the cofferdam removed
preparatory to placing the concrete founda-
lion for the new pier. The officer in charge
says that practically all the construction
material necessary for the completion of
the work is now either at the site or Is
quickly available so that the reconstruc-
ton of the pier can be Immediately com
menced as soon as the cofferdam is cleared
of debris.

chief of engineers show that dredging OPP

hour As a result of recent operations the
channel has been widened from 2G0 feet to
$40 feet for a length of about 900 feet.
An examination of the channels in the

along the line of countrymen and hucksters,
on the south side of Is street between 9TH
