SACRAMENTO BRIDGE
PLAN SATISFACTORY

sacramento, Cal,-The amended
plan for a bridge across the Sacra-
mento river at Chipp's island, filed
with Major Cheney of the United
States engineering corps, promises to
meet most of the objections of river
navigation interests urged against the
first plan, submitted some weeks ago,
writes H. NJ. Beete in the Union.
The new plan contemplates bridge
nearly 5000 feet in length. The navi-
gable width of the river at Chipp's
island is approximately 1900 feet. The
bridge now proposed across this navi-
gable water is to be 70 feet in the
clear, that is the distance above high
water level and the lower beams of
the bridge. The former plan was to
build a bridge but eight or 10 feet
above high water and force all vessels
to use the lift span. This will now
be necessary only for sailing vessels,
for none of the steamships have masts
or tunnels higher than 60 feet.
Officials of the Oakland, Antioch &
Eastern state that in elevating the
entire bridge structure. they will add
