has attracted barely more than passing
notice from those in its immediate vicini-
ty. 1t is simply case OF thing being
quite too near home to be worthy of no
tice.
Each bridge will be built for two tracks,
and each will have. draw span IS feet

The bridge over the Gunpowder river
will consist of Iso spans 26 feet long. in
addition to the draw span.
The bridge over Bush river will consist
of Io4 spans a6 feet long, in addition to
