FOUR TRACKS FOR

Ohio Railroad, Cor a steel bridge over
the railroad tracks at Seventh street.
have been returned by city Engineer
Taylor with criticism. The plans pro-
vide for plank bridge and its tensile
strength is calculated accordingly. Mr..
Taylor believes that the plans should
contemplate the laying of concrete on
the bridge He also wants the bridge
made stronger. lie will confer with
the railroad engineers as to a change
in the plans.
The plans submitted by the railroad
indicate that il contemplates an i'm
portant Improvement on the line
through this city. At present two
tracks run under Seventh street bridge
The plans for the bridge. however. pro
vide for space between thes ustaininR
piers for four tracks, and it is re
garded as very probable that the rail-
road will make n four track line
through Wilmington soon after tho
construction of tho bridge.
This contemplated improvement is in
line with the policy of improvement
adopted by the railroad company on
the Wilmington section within the last
few months. Preparations have al
ready been made for the construction
of stone bridge over the Brandywin0
to replace the present steel bridge.
The erection of the bridge over Sew
enth street will make way for an i'm
provement in the Peoples Railway
line. The railway company has a
franchise out Seventh street to the
city line. but it has not been available
owing TO the lack of a substantial
bridge over the railroads tracks. The
bridge will enable the railway to avoid
the loop from Woodlawn avenue
around Sixth street and back to Sew.
