WESTERN MARYLAND WILL BUILD
BRIDGES.
To Substitute Heavy Steel For Light
Structures On Main Line.

Expectations OF an early opening OF
the Western Maryland's new extern
sion to a connection with the Pitts
burgh and Lake Erie ut Connellsville,
Pa. have been disappointed because Of
severe trouble encountered In the
BigSavage tunnel, which has delayed
the completion OF the work over %
month. The contractors now believe
they can connect I'D the tunnel head
ingS by December 15. and that the
tracks can be laid by January /. by
that time, also, all track laying On
other sections OF the line will have
been completed and the new extern
sion, 1t is expected, will be In full OPP
Grafton by January 15.
The management is making consid-
cradle improvements to terminal "a
cilities at Baltimore and laying adj
ditional second tracks at points where
movement or traffic ID likely To be
heavy when traffic begins to move
freely over the new extension. When
these improvements are completed
the company's existing mileage will
have doubled the track capacity OF a
few years ago and it, terminal ca
pacdty &C Baltimore viii be increased
In the same proportion.
Chief Engineer iii. R. Pratt, or the
Western Maryland Railway Company,
feeling that the work or his depart
ment Is largely completed, In SO far
I'D the Connellsville extension is con-
cerned, ID ready to attend to other
engineering projects among which one
or the most important is the changing
of Is bridges on the main line be-
tween Cumberland and Baltimore.
All ideas OF strengthening these
bridges most of which are compare
lively small ones. to accommodate the
heavier rolling stock and train loads
which they would be called upon to
support when the connection with tho
Pittsburgh and Lake Erie is establish
ed, has been abandoned, and Mr.Pratt
has decided to supplant all OF the old
bridges with absolutely new struc-
lures OF the most modern, substantial
construction.
With this end in view a corps Of en-
glneers will at once proceed To In
spect the location Of each bridge and
draw plans for the substitution or
heavy steel structures, with concrete
piers and abutments I'm each instance.
