Why should any one ever be
afraid to try? Why should he hest
tate to make the attempt at least? Is
ii that he fears failure ? But the
--LATEST failure cannot be worse than
failure to begin. Is it that he breads
the scornful comments of others? BE
sure that the world has vastly more
respect for the one who tries. who
does his best, even though he fail,
than for any one who holds back
through fear of defeat.

CONCRETE ARCH
IL SUGGESTED FOR ISLAND
CREEK INSTEAD Oh BRIDGE.
u L. Claimed II Would Not Cost
Much Moro and Would Last
fcTcNc..

A number OF prominent citizens of
Mechanlcsburg are anxious for the
city to construct a concrete arch over
Island Creek TO Mechan.csburG. in
s.ea1 OF the bridge that the city and
sreet car company are talking OF
building.
City Engineer Washington has
plans in his office. with figures, etc.
but some of the members of the leg
siatiye boards claim that the city
could not find dirt enough to FIJI in
with after the arch was built.
The city has spent $4,000 or
more in recent years on Island creek
bridge. and concrete arch would
last forever. II would not require
much time. and would not cost over
double the cost of bridge.
Some argue that the city coulG
never get drt enough to fill in after
the arch was built over the creek.
but others claim that this could cas-
fly be done, especially as a great deal
Ct street reconstruction has yet TO
be done. and the city has been Civ
ing away tons and tons OF dirt for
the mere carrying away.
II Is understood that this kind of
a structure over the creek Is prefer
red by the street car company, which
has agreed to pay half of the cost of
new structure.
Similar concrete arches are used
by all railroads, and there are thous-
ands of them in the country 1t Is
most likely that the city engineer will
be asked to recommend an arch in
stead of a bridge. and let the mat
ter come up in regular form. The
plans and estimates City Engineer
Washington has were furnished
about two years ago by a New York
that wanted TO build an
arch, and nothing was ever done
with them.
