Lonocst SINGLE Span in the World.

one OF the most remarkable bridges in
the world. not only from the engineering
point of view. but also from its relations
as 4 link in transcontinenta traffic. Will
be that now under construction across the
St. Lawrence river, about SIX miles above
the city of Quebec and 40 miles below
Montreal. says Technical World Magazine
for April. 1t will contain the longest span
in the world, and Will be the link that will
render possible another ~all-Canad1an
t-rans-continental railway. The structure,
it is supposed, VIII be built in two years.
All railways will be entitled to its use. In
order to avoid obstruction to ocean-going
craft, the bridge is not built on a series OF
piers extending across the stream. but
consists technically of two great cantilev-
ers carry a huge central expanded span
having a total strength in the c~lear-that
is. between the towers at either side-of
1.S0 feet. which is 90 feet longer thar each
OF the two spans of the famous bridge
over the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh,
Scotland.

Highways and Highways.


Years ago. in Tie early days, before
the railroad, states chartered corpora
ions to construct and maintain high
ways-we called them toll roads
pixies in some parts. then-and en-
powered them to charge toll on all who
used them, the state fixing the tollthev

planks. and were the plank aid" of
the west; others of stone and were the
nlacadainiZed roads OF the east and
south. These corporations did what the
state or its subdivisions were unwilling
or financially unable to do at the time.
They served their day and
Then came q day when men asked WHY
their roads should be made private
property and they be made to pay for
their use. Why should not the state or
the county make these better roads and
maintain them? And gradually. as this
sentiment spread, the plank roads and
the toll roads and the pikes--the last
the last OF all-became common roads.

of private ownership OF highways
passed out. leaving only a foundation
on which is being built our later move
