he had forfeited his right to vote by re-

Masonry of Poor Quality.

In taking down this old pier. which was
done by Col Charles j. Allen. Corps OF
Engineers il was found that the masonry
was of even poorer quality than had been
believed He said the upper portion OF
the per as we'll as the lower was of such
poor quality that it was readily removed
with picks and shovels. and the lower
stones were removed without the slightest
difficulty by chain hooks only.
In recent years additional pressure has
been put upon the piers by the extension
of the Great Falls and Old Dominion rail-
road across the bridge into Georgetown.
bur so far as known that use has not ma
terially affected the structure in any way
Summarizing the report of Maj. Cosby In
regard to the present condition OF the
bridge. it appears that the two abutments
and the three recently reconstructed piers,
Nos. /. and >. are i'm good condition.
but that the other five piers are more or
less defective. The repairs which have
just been completed have made the bridge
perfectly safe for travel. but as they are
admittedly more or less temporary in
character II may be regarded as only
matter of time when il will become neces-
sary to reconstruct entirely the five defec-
tive piers or abandon the bridge for an
entirely new one on the same site or IN
that vicinity. Estimates for suitable
new bridge range from 100000 to
