SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
CHOOSE BUREAU CHIEF
Possible disappointment of Rear Adj
miral Hollyday to Charge of.
Docks and Yards.

Secretary Meyer shortly will have to
decide whether Rear Admiral II. G.
Hollyday Of the Corps OF Civil En-
gincers shall be reappointed chief of
the naval bureau of yards and docks
for second term Of four years or
whether some other officer of the naval
establishment shall be placed at the
head OF that bureau for the ensuing
four years. Rear Admiral Hollyday
was appointed to the bureau position
April 10, 1907. but was not actually
commissioned until January IA. 1908.
1t is held at the Navy DEPARTING mt
that his term of four years does not
expire until January Ii next.

Stands at Head of List.

The admiral is d native of Maryland,
and was appointed civil engineer in
the navy in March. 1894. He is the
oldest officer of the corps and stands
at the head of the list. Because of
the policy adopted by Secretary Meyer
or placing young men at the head Of
the various naval bureaus. with view
TO undermining and improving the
methods of business, the impression
prevails that Admiral Hollyday's age
may initiate against his reappoint-
ment.
Although the appointment is not re-
strictcd TO the Corps of Civil En-
gineers. 1t is generally believed in case
a change is determined upon that a
younger member OF that corps will be
selected. With that idea in view Lieut..
Commander Andrew c. Cunningham,
inspector of public works, Navy De.
partment, and Lieut.. Commander Leon
ard NJ Cox, in charge of public works
at the navy yard in Norfolk, are
frequently mentioned in the list of
those from which the selection may
be made.

Right beyond the curve which forms
the junction of the Medford branch
and the Atlantic City railroad, below
Haddonfield station, a tributary of
Cooper creek flows through a ravine
about eighty-five feet below the rail-
road. A wooden trestle bridge has
spanned the creek at this point, and
the railroad company determined to
replace it with concrete arch, filling
it with earth above It until the en-
bankment reached the level of the ar
tificial embankment upon which the
railroad runs across the entire ravine.
The old wooden structure Is said TO
have been in bad shape for several
days past, and work was rushed on
the new structure yesterday, when
traffic would not be interfered with.
The last train passed the old bridge at
1886 o'clock yesterday morning, south
bound, and there was no other due
until 4:47 pm, northbound

rails and to tear away the structure
underneath When this had been done
