Defends BRIDGE
In Opinion OF Mr.. Wilson,
Washington Street Struc-
ture Is Safe
WANTS EXPERT
TO SEE STRUCTURE

County Engineer James Wilson ap-
peared before the Levy Court today
with detailed plans OF the Washington
street bridge as it is today.
MIR. Wilson said he had given the
bridge question much study and in
his opinion the bridge is in splendid
condition although it needs to be
strengthened.
Mr.. Wilson said no engineer would
express a definite opinion at pres
ent as to the life of the bridge in its
present condition. He added that
should it be decided by the county to
have the bridge strengthened no ad-
ditional pier would be necessary.
The engineer said # had been sug-
gested that a special beam be put
under the centre of the structure.
Then" said Mr.. Burris, mo new
bridge is needed at an enormous ex-
pense. although Ninth ward residents
demand it, Mr.. Wilson said be had
instructed the Street and Sewer De
partment to remove the preparation
from the sidewalks on the bridge, hut
no sooner had the men commenced
the work than some people objected.
Mr. Wilson added that as the people
ought to have what they wanted, he
had left the preparation on only one
footpath of the bridge.
Engineer Wilson said he would give
no definite opinion concerning the
bridge, unless he is permitted to use
an expert in the examination.

Among other physiological effects %
coffee drinking it is found that this bev-

summed up as follows:
First, the fannie acid in coffee inter

SECOND, the caffeine Of coffee is a

"Third, the effects produced are similar
TO those of alcohol. When long used,
the result is damage TO the poison de
