Placed in Weakened Struc-
ture Saturday.

The work of strengthening the
Bloomfield avenue bridge over the
Morris canal. which was weakened
when several large slabs In the foun-
dation fell out recently. was begun
today.
Martin White. superintendent OF

layed until Saturday, the timbers to

superintendent and a representative
of the canal company. it was decided
that 1t would probably be advisable
to delay installing the timbers until
Saturday. when the water would be
removed from the canal.

hole in the bridge foundation is about
two feet under the water line.
The traction. company Is continuing
to guard the bridge by stationing two
men at opposite ends Of the structure
