NEW BRIDGE HAS
NOVEL FEATURES
EAST MAIN STREET SPAN IS
COMPLETED
CONTRACTOR READY TO TURN
STRUCTURE OVER TO CITY
Plans Were Made by Late H. G. Par
ker, and from Engineering View
point Is Only Work of
Its Kind

C. I,eonardt, contractor for the new
reinforced concrete bridge across the
Los Angeles river at East Main street.
has practically completed his work on
the structure and will turn it over to
the city engineers office for accept
ance April l. The Los Angeles Rail
way company has commenced laying
IT'S rails across the bridge and the
civ laborers are setting the concrete
coming along the sidewalk and the
ornamental electric light posts, TINS
being not included in the contract.
The bridge embodies engineering fea-
lures never before used in the United
States. and was designd by the late
II. G. Parker engineer of bridges in the
CITY engineers office, who met
tragic death while inspecting the out
fall sewer in August, 1909. 1t Is 1873
feet over all in length, and has three
arches, each being 875 feet In the clear
between the abutments. 1t Is in the
arches that the novel feature or the
bridge is incorporated, each arch con-
sisting of two entirely distinct pieces
of concrete, which allows for setting,
or expansion OF contraction due to cold
and heat without harm to the Struc-
ture.
This is accomplished by means of
three hinges, or bearings of cast
iron plates. bolted to steel l beams
around which the reinforcing rods are
Iooped and the concrete Is divided Dy
pouring around a five eighths Oregon
pine board, both sides of which are
previously covered with several layers
of felt, This division of the concrete
is carried clear across the bridge in
nine places, once at the summit OF
each arch, and one at the bottom OF
each. side of each arch, next the pier
so that any expansion will be taken
I'D by the wood and felt, and Will not
crack the concrete. The arches, in
stead of presenting a smooth surface
on the under side, as in the ordinary
concrete bridge, are of what is known
as the rib and slab" construction,
in which the sidewalks, car tracks and
roadways are UNDERGONE by separate
arches, although the slab supporting
the traffic surface is continuous, al
lowing the same finish as an ordinary
paved street. The roadway of the
bridge will be Sc feet wide, with two
car tracks in the center and side
walk five feet nine inches on each side.
Eight ornamental electric light posts
will be placed, four on each side,
which, with the decorative coping of
concrete blocks, will present a very
attractive appearance. Ground was
broken for the piers of the new bridge,
March g. 1909, and no hindrance has
been experienced further than the
seeping of crude oil into the excava-
tions, rendering the sand taken out
unfit for use In the concrete, The
concrete piers, which measure forty
feet in depth, are supported on piles
driven twenty-five feet in the sand and
resting on bedrock, AT present the
piers are twenty-five feet deep in sand,
but the bed of the river is constantly
being lowered by the removal of sand
for building purposes.
The contract price of the bridge is
$S4, 000

MODEL SCHOOL GOVERNMENT
LIKE THAT OF MUNICIPALITY
Student Body at Olive High Governed
by Elective Body Under Mod
ern Charter

A municipal government system, in
many respects similar to the system
now used by the city of Los Angeles,
is being practiced in the administration
of the schiol affairs of the Olive street
high school. The functions of the city
council are performed by the high
school council, composed of two rep
resentatives, a boy and a girl, from
each of the nine class rooms. OF this
council, harold Morton is president;
Carleton Henley, vice president, and
Mildred Knauff, city clerk and secre-
tary.
What formerly was the constitution
of the school has been revised as a
city charter, with all the modern pro-
visions.
The municipal system is both instruc-
tive and effective. The students learn
of the operation of city affairs thor
oughly by practical, everyday demon
strations of its workings in their
school life.
