piers, necessitating the stopping of
traffic over the bridge
Wider Structure Is Needed.
NO matter how carefully the diver

always leaves feeling of uncertainty
as to whether all defects have been dis
covered. The five old piers should
either be rebuilt or the bridge be en-
tirely replaced by wider and stronger

increasing traffic. To rebuild the piers
would render the substructure safe,
but would not provide additional facilf-
ties. new bridge is needed and the
necessary preliminary steps should be

The chief of engineers submits no es-
Inmates and is silent on the question as
