AN HISTORIC BRIDGE.

Although plans for the concrete arch bridge
the two sides Of Richmond have not yet been ap-
proved by the City Council, 1t is encouraging to
learn that the board of engineers to which was
submitted the question OF the most desirable
one which would most readily lend itself to or.
namentation.
When Mayo's Bridge is torn down there will
have passed out of existence one of the most
historic landmarks In or around Richmond Il
should be replaced by modern span which will
serve commercial purposes better and yet pre-
serve all the memories of the original structure
The dilapidated and rickety bridge which the
city has acquired to destroy and supplant with
another, which will be serviceable. attractive
and stable. is ineradcably identified with his
toric events in Virginia and Richmond, which
linger In the minds of the Oldest inhabitants and
have been recited by them to the younger gene
ration. When the bridge over which the Con
federate soldiers marched from burning Rich
mond to Appomattox. the structure which first
and the span which has been 30 prominently
identified with the city's commerce as Colonel
Mayo's toll bridge gives way to the march OF
progress. all that 1t has stood for should be per.
petuated. 1t may be said with a great degree
of truth that 1t is getting to be hobby with
the people of Richmond and Virginia to empha,
size the historic lore of structures when II Ia
proposed to tear them down and erect others
more in keeping with the times What better
or nober hobby could a people have?
The City Council should select the plans pro.
viding for the strongest and safest bridge, and
likewise those calling for an INTELLECTUALLY
beautiful span. The selection should be made
with the idea in mind OF having such a bridge
erected as will permit Of the erection of the four
statues which Sir Moses Ezekiel. the noted
sculptor and native Rchmonder. proposes to
chisel and place on the structure. Richmond is
fortunate In having such gifted son. and he is

ism which prompted him to make the offer of
providing the heroic figures to tell the story Of
