CENIhAL
From the Nonpareil.
Superintendent Early, of Columbus
who has been selected as the supervising
engineer of the new electric light plant
has submitted sketch of the building
to the council. His plans provide for
building 40x45 feet with room for two
boilers and two dynamos. The building
will be located directly west of the pres
emit pumping station and will be con-
structed of brick or cement. The coun-
Gil would have liked to have utilized the
space now occupied by the pumping
station but the necessity for running the
pumps all the time will prevent the
erection OF building that large. The
proposed plans, however, provide for the
machinery very nicely and the building
will be commOdious and convenient.
Bids for the machinery and material
necessary in the equipment of the plant
will be opened tomorrow, the council
having expedited matters by dispensing
with the advertisement for bids. Orders
for the material will doubtless be placed
by the 18th of this month and it 10 e.
peoted that the plant will be ready for
operation by December lst. Indics,iops
now are that there will be sufficient de-
msnd for current 90 that day service
can be furnished but this is . matter
that will have to be determined after
the plant is placed in operation.

Bridge Builders Career.

Anybody standing on the Brooklyn
bridge and looking northward up the
East River will see three striking ex-
amples of the genius and ability of
Gustavus Lindenthal who, a matter
of thirty years ago, was mason and
carpenter doing journeymans work in
Philadelphia, the Bookkeeper says.
The three examples of his later de-
velopment are the Manhattan bridge,
which is nearing completion and is
about 1900 feet north of the Brooklyn
bridge; the Williamsburg bridge, and,
finally, the enormous Queensborough
bridge, that was opened to traffic re-
Gently. But this is not all. Far to
the north of these three huge spans
between Manhattan and Long Island
there is another creation of Mr.. Lin
denthal's brain-the He'll Gate bridge,
designed to carry the heaviest loads
of any bridge in the world, connect
ing the mainland lines of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road with the Long Island Railroad,
and thus, by way of the tubes under
the North River, bringing about
direct rail route from New England
into the west.
