George +. Mitchell of the Leighton

building of the passenger station, was
a recent caller in the city, and after
a visit to the new station expressed
entire satisfaction with the progress

Bridge FOR
SMALL STREAM

Dickey Reporter: For some time
Com. David Taylor has been advocat-
ing before the rest of the board the
ACCESSIBILITY of putting in a number Of
cement or stone bridges across the
James river, where needed. These
bridges, according to Mr.. Taylor,
would consist of a 6-foot metal culvert
laid parallel with the river current,
over each Of which would be built
a wall of cement or stone, say eighteen
inches in thickness, and extending
from bank to bank. The space be-
tween the walls can be filled in and
the whole finished off with cement OF
sufficient thickness to withstand the
strain of the heaviest loads. He be-
lieves a 6-feet culvert will be able
to handle all the water the Jim a
send down, unless we should have a
very wet spring. To guard against
the effects of high water, Mr.. Taylor
suggests that the bridges be built low
enough so that when the water reaches
a certain height it will flow over the
bridge. The bridge being of cement
the water could do this with little or
no damage at all. 1t is not Mr., Tay-
lor's plan to do away with the pres
ent high steel bridges; these would
be needed in case OF very high water.
There has been a crying need up this
way for just such a bridge as Mr..
Taylor suggests. Considerable grain
was left unthreshed up his way be-
cause there is no bridge Of sufficient
strength to permit the passage Of
threshing engines. A bridge of this
kind can be built for from s700 to
$500. Today the county is paying two
and three times this sum for steel
bridges, where one of those built along
lines suggested by Mr.. Taylor would
fill the bill. Worst OF all. there seems
to be no way Of getting out of paying
these high prices, unless the plan of
Mr. Taylor is adopted. 1t is at least
worth trying.
