quire year and half to complete It.
There have been numerous delays in
connection with the efforts of the Distric,
authorities to get the work on this i'm
provement under way. Beginning with
the condemnation proceedings, one difn-
Guilty after another has developed, the

This amount is $4,000. the remainder
of the $275,OO0 appropriation being re-
quired for the cost of the approaches and

the building of bridge of five spans
only, and it is believed that the bids to be
submitted will come within the $19O 600
limit. The proposals will be opened Oc-
tober D.

curve, will have a length of 261 feet and
q roadway with a width of thirty-three
feet. Two sidewalks, seven feet one and
one-half inches wide, each. will be pro-
vided. The first set OF plans was drawn
under supervision Of former Engineer Of
Bridges Bailey, but the new drawings
were prepared under the direction OF En-
gineer Of Bridges D. E. McComb and
Glenn Brown. supervisory architect. w.
A. Draper, assistant engineer of bridges
will be in charge Of the construction of
the bridge. The approaches will have as
decorations bronze bufkaioes designed by
A Phimster Proctor of New York.

Engineer McComb has completed draw
ings for the new Pennsylvania Avenue
bridge to replace the present pipe line
structure spanning Rock creek, and prob
ably will submit the, designs to the fine
arts commission today or tomorrow. This
structure is to cost 100000, an initial ap-
priation Of $4,000 already having been
provided by Congress. 1t will be 27O
feet long and seventy feet wide and will
carry the car line tracks OF the Capital
Traction Company.
