1t is characteristic of the new atti-
tude OF many public service corpora
tons toward aesthetic considerations
that the architectural quality OF this
bridge, which within a few months
will be opened to the public, has been
made possible largely through the pub.
lie spirit and liberality of Boston's
street car system, the Boston elevated
railway company. The contribution
of the elevated company, which will
make use of a portion of the bridge
as offering direct line of rapid tran,
sit to Harvard square, enabled the
erection of structure involving the
expenditure of two and a half million
dollars, very considerable sum IN
the building of a bridge, and one that
would have been beyond the means
of the suburban city of Cambridge. if
the expense had simply been shared
with the city of Boston. According to
the bill which apportioned the expen-
ses 1t was provided that the Boston
elevated railway shall pay toward the
construction of said bridge such pro-
portion thereof as shall be rendered
necessary by reason of it's being OF
additional size and strength for the
| use of the elevated road" This quota
has made possible an attempt to pro
! duce something as fine as any mod.
ern European bridge.
OF the four car tracks occupying the
middle of the structure two will be
given over to trains on the new rapid
transit line that is to be begun be-
tween Boston and Cambridge soon
| after the completion of the bridge.
| These will be on grade across the
| bridge, being enclosed from the trolley
car tracks by an iron fence The middle
section where the 81" tracks run will
| be an open trestle, which is more sat

and ice. From the Boston side the
trains will come out of a subway skirt
ing the northern side of historic Bea.

they will either again descend into a
subway or continue at the elevated

Exceptional though the new west
Boston bridge will be in America,
Europe is filed with bridges which
combine high degree of artistic quail

| continental countries are altogether

] incongruousness. Perhaps one of the
most notable cases is that of the old
est of all stone bridges, the Ponte
Rotto in Rome, anciently known as
the Pons Aemilius begun in 17S 3. c.,
and completed in about forty years.
Half of this bridge was carried away
by food in 1857. 1t was at that time
rebuilt from blocks of stone from the
coliseum, but the medieval builders
were less slxilful, and for a second
time part of the bridge was swep.

with one end hanging in the air,

solid beauty of the ancient Roman
architecture with the limit OF modern
ugliness. For the most part, however,

CEMETERY LOT FOR SECURITY
Story Illustrating Financial Dealings
of John r. Walsh.

VI oStH' ~ NdiStt.
The day the news of the arrest of
John. r. Walsh, the Chicago banker,
was printed two men stood in New
York bank and talked of the incident.
Il never knew Walsh" said one.
but a man who is in business In &
neighboring city told me that Walsh
was contradiction. He cited in
proof this singular story:
One day he went into Walsh's
bank and found him in consultation
with two men who were making a
special plea for loan offering secu-
rity which seemed to be gilt edged.
He overheard Walsh say that he did
not care to make the loan upon any
conditions. The man who tells the
story passed in. He had never spoken
to Walsh until this. The banker
asked him what he wanted. The man
replied that he intended asking if he
could borrow $10O. but that he had
overheard what Mr.. Walsh had said
to the two men who had just passed
out. He guessed there was no chance
! for him.
You needn't believe everything
you hear said Walsh. What do you
want? I'm busy man
THE stranger said he wanted to
borrow 500. Walsh said his bank
did not do business on such small
scale. The stranger said he did not
want a larger sum, as he knew he
could not pay it back on time.
How do know you'll pay this
back on time? asked Walsh.
"The stranger replied, You don't
know It, but | know it.
What is your collateralg asked
Walsh.
Tine man said he owned lot In
Graceland Cemetry.
Anybody buried In that fotg
asked the banker, turning over a lot
OF papers on his desk and never look,
ing up.
THE caller said the lot was still va.
cant Walsh asked him If he had
deed to the lot, and the man produced
one. After Walsh looked at it he.
said: Got anybody to identify your.
The stranger said he knew an under
taker and gave his name.
He'll do Bring him in. know
him, said Walsh, in his short, snappy
way.
The stranger went out and re-
turned within an hour, accompanied
by the undertaken After the fdenti.
hcation Walsh drew his personal
check for 800 and handed It to the
applicant, when asked II he was not
to sign note.
Walsh told him his note would be
OF no value, and added that he wanted
the loan paid at the end of 80 days.
If you don't pay it, said the
banker, you make arrangements
With your friend the undertaken to
have hole dug in that lot In Grace
land
That was all. The man went to
the paying teller and got his money.
At the end of 60 days he walked into
Waish's office again and laid down
500. Some time afterward he wanted
money TO invest in a scheme. The
loan was up in the thousands. He
got It, but this time he had good Sc
curity. On that loan he established
business That has made him indie
pendent. He told me the other day
he would risk half he has to see
Walsh again on his feet"

, spanning their rivers. A German
commissioner appointed some rs years
ago by his government to look into
the railroad system of the United
States reported among other things:
'In America public works are execu-
ted without reference to art" Yet
the nineteenth century witnessed the
, erection in this country of so noble a
structure as the arched High Bridge
which carries Croton water into New
York city; the massive and not unin-
teresting Cabin Johns bridge near
Washington, famed until very recently
as being the largest single arch
bridge in the world; the 4-dds bridge
across the Mississippi at ST. Louis, rep
resenting striking and generally
pleasing combination of masonry and
ironwork, and many minor structures
of distinct artistic merit. Even the
all iron bridge in the hands of some
engineers who are willing to look at
their work as an architectural propo-
sition, has proved to have an attrac-
tiveness of it's own, though beauty OF
the highest type it can never possess.
Among the older bridges of the coun-
try, those especially involving stone
work of the colonial and revolutionary
period, there are many that are truly
notable in appearance.
The spirit of esthetic improvement
is on us at last, and the opportunity
that structure thrown across body
of water offers for picturesque and
decorative effect has become recog-
nized by practically all architects and
by the intelligent public. In the plans
for the Identification of Washington,
for example, special feature is a
great bridge with heavy towers above
the central drawbridge.
Again, the community of the greater
Boston, which heretofore, though sup
piled with a multitude of smaller
bridges ,of more or less architectural
merit, has no large bridge comparable
in popular estimation with some of the
big spans of other American cities
such as the two great suspension
bridges over New York's East river
has now very nearly completed one of
masonry and steel which W be of dis
tinctly monumental character, making
an important part of the landscape OF
the back bay and giving impressive
ness to the former rather mean and
squalid approach to Harvard univer-
sity This work has lately been hail
ed as unquestionably the most artistic
American bridge yet designed. 1t viii
be one of the most conspicuous feat
ures of the ornamental basin, which,
on a larger scale than Hamburg's cele-
brated Alster basin, is being created
ont of the salt water estuary where
the Charles river broadens before
flowing into the ocean. IT also has a
sentimental significance, for it takes
the place of the ugly, Insignificant
pile bridge which Longfellow immor-
talized by standing on it at midnight,
and which. if he followed the dictates
N his artistic tastes, he probably ran
AWAY from by daylight.
In the building of the new bridge

beauty of line and mass and to avoid
