OVERHEAD BRIDGE
AT CONCORD STATION

Bridges are desired by the Water
Commissioners, to be placed over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad at the
Concord turnpike crossing Of the rail-
road. and another at the Boulevard ex-
tension crossing Of the railroad. The
matter was discussed at a meeting of
the Water Commissioners yesterday
afternoon. and they decided to confer
with Mayor Wilson and the Street and
Sewer directors about the improves
ment.
An overhead public bridge at Con-
cord station would eliminate the grade
crossing there, where several accidents
have occurred in past years, despite
the presence OF a railroad watchman.
Since the construction OF the Weldin
farm reservoir has begun, travel over
the Concord turnpike is heavier than
ever. and IL is felt that a bridge that
would divert public travel above the
railroad tracks would be great
benefit.
Although a large number Of bills
were passed at the meeting Of the COM
missioners they will not be paid from
present indications unless City Council
decides 10 allow the board the re-
mainder Of the $4,000 due it. A few
weeks ago Council gave the body $1,000.
but this was not sufficient 70 meet tho
expenses, and the board now faces a
deficit.
The balance in bank was reported to
be S4O73.5f. The weekly payroll OF
SS9902 and the payroll on new work
amounted TO S765.45. Both We're ap-

GOOD ROADS AND AUTOS.
Big Factors In Future Economics,
Says Edward Hewitt.

Big Factors In Future Economics,
Says Edward Hewitt.
Inside of six years, and ten at the
most, we will have roads that will
make the commercial automobile one
of the biggest factors in the economic
question of the day, says Edward Hew-
lit in the New York World.
The saving in freight rate and conse-
quent saving to the consumer that will
come through good roads for CONNER
cial automobile transportation are
bound to make the road question one
that will have to be considered by leg
islatures.
A state commission with an appro-
priation sufficient to interlace the roads
Of this state and Jersey with freight
auto roads would be one Of the most
commendable Of all the commissions
that we could have at present Long
Island has only one road that leads to
Long Island City that Is worth the
name.
That should not be.
The freight hauling of Long Island
could even now be done by automo-
bnes with great saving to the con-
sumer if there were roads that adj
mitted Of it.
France, Germany and Switzerland
have been using the freight automobile
for years, and yet we think we are a
progressive nation.
The pleasure car must give way as
a factor of manufacture to the com.
mercial car, and, as soon as the men
who control the big output Of cars
realize that, then the movement toward
the kind Of roads we must have must
begin to take shape, and it is coming
in the very near future.
Just as soon as the big controllers in
the manufacturing market see that
their future and big profit lie in the
| freight motor car and that they need
good roads for the same they will be
able to get the newspapers to start ar
agitation sufficiently great to see thai
they get the kind Of legislation they
need for the same.

COUNT Won ZEPPELIN AND HIS AIRsHIP.
have added their cash to the cause,
which has consumed several hundred
thousand dollars.
Ferdinand Won Zeppelin, in addition
to being German nobleman, is sol
der Of distinction. He rose to the
rank Of lieutenant general in the Ger
man army and for years has been chief
military adviser to the king Of Wurt-
temberg. In the Franco-Prusslan war
he won fame as the first Prussian Of
f1cer who crossed the frontier into
France. He was noted leader of
scouts. Prior to that he had served his
fatherland in the United States during
the civil war as military attache, and
It was In this country in 1864 that he
made his first balloon ascensions. Bal
looms were used by our government to
some extent in making military OBJ
seryations. The count went up sever
al times, and that gave him taste
for aerial experimenting as to the
uses Of balloons or airships in war.
During the past ten years Count Won
Zeppelin has done little more than
build airships and finance propositions
for building better ones. The present
ship is his third model. The first was
bought by his government. The sec
ond he destroyed, selling the material
for junk. Model No. 3, which few
around and over the Bodensee, the
lake between Switzerland and Baden,
carrying nine persons in its two car
rlages, was eight months in building
Work began last February. At times
200 workmen were employed day and
night.
The ship was built In long hall ex-
tending out over the waters of the 30
densee. The floor Of the hall was so
constructed as to float outside when
the ship was ready for launching and
hoat back when it was desired to re-
turn the monster to its mansion. The
vessel went up about thousand feet
and made circuit of the lake, crossed
twice and returned to the starting
point, gracefully alighting upon the
platform. This programme was repeat
ed the next day with even greater sue
cess. The first trial was Of two hours
duration and the second of four hours.
The propellers, rudders and motors
worked smoothly on each trial.
In general shape the aluminium cyl
lnder inclosing the balloons resembles
monster torpedo flying through the air.
It has an advantage in cutting the air
In being sharp pointed.

Value of Good Roads TO Property.
There are many striking examples
Of the value Of good roads. Wherever
roads have been permanently improved
it is found that there has been a very
great increase in the value of the ad
jacent property, says the Good Roads
Magazine. Among examples Of this
sort is that Of Jackson. Tenn. From
figures recently published 1t IS show
that since 1900 the city has increased
5000 in population. The roads were
improved through issuing bonds to
start with, and they have advertised
the city so much that families are con-
stantly coming in from adjoining
counties, with the result that land
values have increased in some cases
from 90 to 100 per cent Property In
the city has also greatly increased in
value.

Won Zeppelin
And His AirsI1iD
Biggest Nrigibie Balloon Ever Constructed
and Successfully Used - Sixteen Sep.
arate Envelopes Fer Gas Carries
Nine People With Ease.
'WYHE biggest airship that ever
h scared into the empyrean is
Count Won zeppelin's latest

REHE biggest airship that ever
scared into the empyrean is
Count Won Zeppelin's latest
model, which recently made
two successful trial trips In German
atmosphere This vessel is as big as an
ocean steamship and speedier than the
average OF such craft. She can sail
from eighteen to thirty miles an hour.
The length Of the vessel is 40 feet and
the diameter about forty feet. She car
ries two Daimler motors Of eighty-fve
horsepower each, by far the greatest
horsepower ever applied to an airship.
The hydrogen gas supply that $v.oys
her up Is calculated to last for 12O
hours. Thus if conditions are favora-
BILE this ship may fly five days, or long
enough to cross the ocean from Liver
pool to New York, at the speed Of
fast steamship.
In the construction of this ship Count
Won Zeppelin followed his former plan
Of inclosing his gas bags in a long
cylinder Of aluminium plates, each bag
Or balloon in it's separate compart-
ment, independent Of all the others.
There are sixteen Of these balloons in
the $50 foot cylinder. If one should be-
come punctured and collapse the 9th
ers will keep the ship afloat. Several
Of the balloons, In fact, might be put
cut of commission without making the
airship useless. This is what may be
called an hrmored cruiser of the. air,
the armor being the aluminium plates
Is Is designed by the count primarily
for use in warfare and is therefore q
new type Of German war vessel,
though not just yet attached to the i'm
perial navy or army.
The old count, now in his sixty-ninth
year, is undoubtedly the boldest and
most persistent experimental in aerial
navigation now living. His expert
ments all have been upon very large
scale. He has spent his own private
fortune, the kaiser has contributed to
his expense funds, and certain German
capitalists who believe more or less in
the ultimate success of his experiments
