0 STREET BRIDGE
HAVING BAD LUCK
Another Delay Likely Because
Bids Exceed Appropriation
for Construction.

Another delay in starting work or
the northumberland
sand dollar concrete bridge which is to
span Rock creek. connecting Q street
in Georgetown with Q street in Wash
ington, is threatened. Amounts named
in all of the bids, which were formally
opened yesterday, are in excess of the
appropriation available, it was stated
today, and this may result in the seal
ing Of the specifications and the prepara
ton Of practically new set of plans.
In such event there will be a delay of
several months
Engineer Commissioner Harding an6
Engineer of Bridges McComb are in con
sultation today in regard to the matter
There is said to be some possibility of ar
adjustment which will not call for q
change in the plans or necessitate adver'
tising for new bids.
Lowest Bid Slightly in Excess.
The Whiting Turner Construction Com
pany of Baltimore submitted the loves
bid, which was slightly more than $3.50,
Oo0 therefore n excess of the appropria
ton available. Although Congress appro
priated $4,000 for the bridge, the speci
fications call for an expenditure OF Onl,
about $4,000 on the structure itself
The remainder of the appropriation viii
be used for defraying the cost of build
Ing the approaches and supplying the or
namental features.
1t had been expected that a contrac,
could be awarded at once and work or
the bridge started not later than Sep
tember ]. The first delay was caused
by legal proceedings growing out OF
the condemnation Of land necessary for
the improvement. This litigation was
terminated several weeks ago, and nc
further obstacles were anticipated.
Four Firms Compete.
Only four firms submitted bids yes
terday. The three in addition to the
Baltimore company are the C. w. Re-
quarth Company of Charlotte. N. c.;
Hoge & Luebkert Company of this city
and Macarthur Bros. Company Of New
York

by the late engineer of bridges. 7. c. j.
Bayly, jr, with the assistance of w. Nj

and Glenn Brown. Washington archt-
tect, will be built on a curve and will
have seven spans. According to the
submitted yesterday. it will have a
total length of 43O feet and a width OF
SO feet There will be two seven-t,'ot
sidewalks. supported on series #
corbel arches. While constructed Of
concrete the bridge will be faced WiIn
stone. Among the ornamental features
will be bronze buffaloes at each lp-
proach, designed by A. Phimster Proc

EXPLANATION IS SOUGHT
Government Takes Up With
Commission Complaint of
Zone Land Owners.

Complaints made by attorneys for the
owners Of land within the Panama Canal
Zone against the American commission,
Messrs. Falkner and Roe, who with two
Panaman commissioners have been ap-
praising land values in the zone, have
been forwarded from Washington to
Panama with request for an explana-
ton.
Generally these charges are to the ef-
feet that the American commissioners
have been grossly undertaking the
property which is being acquired by the
United States government in connection
with the construction of the canal. Sc
rious friction has existed for some time
between the American and Panaman
commissioners on the subject of the land
values.
The reported withdrawal of the Pana-
threatens to bring about a deadlock in
the work of appraisement which can be
broken only by the appointment of new
commissioners on both sides.
Question Of Date Involved.
AS understood here the point at issue
is the claim Of the Panaman land own
ers that the present value of their prop
erty shall be made the basis of the
awards. The American commissioners,
however, take their stand on the fol-
lowing provision In the treaty Of 1903:
The appraisal of such private lands and
private property and the assessment Of
damages to them shall be based upon
their value before the date Of this con-
vention.'
Under instructions from Washington,
however, the American commissioners
have Nberali.ed their treatment of the
matter by offering to consider as a basis
for their awards the probable value Of
the condemned lands at present. assum-
ing that no canal had been or was to be
