RAILROAD WILL
 BUILD BULKHEADS
San Diego and Arizona to Erect Structure Across Hartule ee
 Tract

San Diego & Arizona Railroad company and preparations made for actual construction of anoth- CT portion of the new railroad which is being built from San Diego to Yuma by John D, Spreckels.
 The second piece of actual con- struction work will be on that portion of the right of way cross ing the Hartupee tract lying just a short distance east of the gas works at the foot of Tenth street. This comprises a lot of low tide land where the Switzer canyon creek empties into the bay. The work to be done here is to con- struct a couple of bulkhead lines parallel to the slough and to fill in all the marshy and low land up to a level with the official grade of the road.
 The Russ Lumber company has the contract for furnishing all the lumber to be used in the bulkhead work.
 Carl Wagner, general manager of the lumber company, when seen yesterday afternoon said: ''We have just concluded the signing of the contract with the railroad officials and will begin hauling piling and lumber to the scene to-day. The bulkheads, two in number, 1900 feet in length, are being built to allow egress to the storm waters from Switzer canyon. It will afford an ample opening, as the heads will be constructed 30 feet apart, and when this work is completed the intervening space will be spanned with bridges.
 "The main construction of the bulkheads will be of piles of the size used in an ordinary wharf. The piles will be topped with heavy 12 by 12 caps. and the in- tervening space between the piles will be filled with sheet pill ing driven into the soil and fast ened to the caps. This work will utilize about 75O0 lineal feet of piling, which will total about a quarter of a million feet of lumber" ."
 No contracts for this particu- lar piece of work will be let, but will be done by the railroad com pany itself, under the supervis- ion of it's chief engineer, MT. Kallright. The pile driver is now on the scene and work will be started within the next few days. The building of these bulkheads is only a small part of the work that is to be done on this tract of low land. The entire tract is to be filled in to a level with the top of the bulkheads, and this, according to a statement made by MT. Wagner, will require about 40, ,OOO cubic yards of em- bankment. This will all be done with a suction dredger similar to the one now being used by the North American Dredging com pany on the work at the mouth of the harbor.
 Specifications for the work are now being drawn and it is under stood that the contract will be s1yardad within Inc naxt faW days
