past was used by teams and pedestrians in
crossing the tidal basin outlet at the foot
Of 18th street will soon be merely a men,
ory The iron beams which supported the
old structure were removed last Saturday
night, leaving only the piers standing.
These will also be removed.
With the disappearance of this old struc-
ture goes the last remnant Of the old Long
bridge. Twenty-Five years ago. before Po-
tomac Park was created and when the
water Of the river flowed over the marshy
ground Of the park flats. the bridge over
what Is now the tidal basin outlet was a
portion Of the Long bridge. and was the
first part to suffer damage in freshets and
ice gorges. Up to about two weeks ago it
was in use. On the completion of the new
concrete bridge across the tidal basin out
let. for use by the Washington, Alexandria
and Mount Vernon railway and other cleo
trio lines, travel over the old bridge ceased,
and early last week its demolition was be-
gun.
