of Park street from Elm to Stanley street The following property own- CTS, after inspecting the map of the city engineer, voted as follows: American Hardware corporation, op- posed; Rackliffe Brothers, favoring; M. J. Markham estate, favOring; J. H. Bastian, favOring; I. Kanrich, favoring;' August Eggert, favoring; August Michaelis, favoring. The lat ter favored with the provision that there be no expense attached to the change of grade, as he had had "too many little. expenses already" The Hardware corporation was opposed on grounds that it would entail too much expense to change the side walks and present conditions would not permit them to do this. It was voted to recommend the change in the grade on both sides of the street. The second hearing was for the pro- posed change of the building line on south side of Franklin street 100 feet east of Elm street. Joseph A. Volz, the petitioner, said he was contem- plating the erection of a garage at the corner of Elm and Franklin streets and with the present line it would II1Sd1 LI1dl Hc WOulu nave DuC very little floor space. T. B. Poison of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. company said the company had no objection to the change. Those opposed were Angelo Lamnote and Andrew Paskus, who also represented Sarah M. Beach. The change in the line was recom- mended by the board.
 No one appeared opposed to the petition for a sewer in Ellis street from Stanley to Maple street and the board voted to recommend it. This petition was sent to the board in preparation for the new factory site to be built in that locality in the near future.
 The last hearing of the evening was for the proposed sewer in winthrop street from Vance to Linwood street Those favoring the sewer were w. J. Neidl, Margaret Scheidel, Oscar Gritchmacher, J. J.

Kilbourne had promised to bring in a deed for the property in that section of the city, but had failed to do so, and he was of the opinion that the city had the right to take the street as highway.
 On motion of Commissioner Moore
 it was voted to give the residents of
 the street a hearing. To Build Sewer.
 The property owners in the vicinity
 of State street will soon be rid of the
 annoyances arising from the fact that
 there is no sewer in the street, pro-
 viding they sign waivers. The board
 of health has called the attention of
 the board to the bad conditions in this
 section and the commissioners who
 have looked the situation over were
 also of the belief that something should be done.

l ID BUILD SUBWAY |. IN BIGELOW \ STREET 5 l
 City Will Construct It Providing
 Company Signs Required Contract

The board of public works at a speedy meeting held last evening, thanks to the aggressive chairman transacted number of important business matters principally the lay ing of a subway in BigeIow street on the petition of the United Electric Light and Water company. The company which is desirious of fur nishing more motor power to num- Der of customers has had it's eye on. the street for some time and with the. recent action of the board on the or dering of permanent pavement opened way for the Improvement. The commissioners discussed the matter at length and President Humphrey of fered valuable suggestion when he said that the subway should be built, but that the company should sign a contract which would be drawn up by the city engineer and the corporation counsel, whereby the city would be protected against the lighting conn pany withdrawing from the subway at an early date, thereby leaving the sub-# way on the city's hands.
 Engineer Hall said that he figured the estimate cost at $17,000 and the company would take six ducts. .
 The board voted to recommend the building of the subway under the con-s ditions as suggested by the chairman
 No Contracts Awarded. y
 Bids were opened for the work of building tht proposed supway in Elnl street from East Main street to Park street. Only two bidders submitted figures as follows.
 The c. M Guest company of New York 7,100 feet, vitrifed conduits, 26 3-10 cents; vitrified latera1s, 45 cents cubic foot; fibre ducts, 26 cents a cubic foot, Al cents for fibre laterals, $4 a, cubic foot for rock cut >.Et. s. #
 The Connecticut Good Roads and Construction company, 2S cents a cubic foot for fibre conduits; 65 cents a cubic foot for iron laterals; $5 a. cubic foot for rock excavation.
 The engineer figured the cost of both contracts as follows: Guest com pany $19.798; fibre, $19,510; Conn. Good Roads and Construction conn pany, $21,505. @
 When the council voted to have the subway built it was decided that the cost should not exceed $20,000. It was also recommended that two sets of bids be received, one from com pany and the other for materials from other concerns, the work to be done by the city. The following local con- cerns placed bids for materials as fol- lows: Central Connecticut Brick com pany, New Britain Lumber and Coal company, Swift and Upson company, City Coal and Wood company, w. L.. Damon Lumber and Coal company, and the American Sewer Pipe com pany and H. John Manville company of New York. As the task of awarding the con- tract was a difficult one the board re- quested that the city engineer be giv- en more time to figure out the various bids of the companies

tor ofiroads and bridges forthe Mary
land State Highway Commission was
maintained as an. inspector during
the entire course Of construction. To,
gether with George w. Wolfe, the
superintendent Of construction. the
work went along with great speed
and efficiency.
And now, In q brief manner, the
story OF the new Fourth street bridge
has been told together with the facts
leading up to its construction and a
brief resume of the development Of
the Luten design. The Telegram Is
proud Of the structure and feels that
its readers should have their atten-
ton called to It. Too often people
pass unnoticed great achievements
and facts in their own community.
Often they need to have strangers
comment upon them before they are
brought to a proper appreciation. A
few days ago John D. Rockefeller,
Jr.. was visitor to Clarksburg. The
new Fourth street bridge was the sub
ject of favorable comment from him.
In 1t he saw typified the spirit Of
the people of Clarksburg.. "And by
their works we shall know them"
can well be quoted in the case OF this
magnificent structure. The Fourth
street bridge stands today as monu-
ment to Clarksburg progressivenes
and testimonial to the skill and
efficiency Of the Luten Bridge Com
pany, the constructors.

Both the president and his bride
agreed not to have their wedding In
tho White House, but in her! home

is called the social hub OF the capt
tai. She lives there In q tastefully
arranged house. somewhat small by
comparison with the mansions which
surround 1t. 1t Is not large enough
for entertaining on an extended scale
and for that reason q large company
was not invited to the wedding. Mr.,
McAdoo, the, presidents son-in-lnw.,
was the only member OF the cabinet
included in the party. The rest were
all relatives.
The repeatedly expressed wish OF
the couple FOR quiet wedding I'M

NEW BRIDGE
CONTINUED from page ~


tion Of such a line 1t was either neces-
sary to build new bridge across
the Elk creek or make some arrange
ments to use the Fourth street bridge.
This bridge was examined and 1t
was found that it was not in condi-
ton to carry trolley cars. After
negotiating with the county for some
time 1t was agreed that the traction
company could use the bridge, but
that the company would have to
stand the expense of putting the
structure in shape for use. The re-
suit was that in 1901 the traction
company rebuilt the floor system Of
the bridge and Immediately began
the operation Of trolley cars from
the Baltimore and Ohio station to
Clarksburg proper.
1t was but a short time after this
that the people of Clarksburg began
to realize that the old steel bridge
was inadequate to handle the grow
ing traffic. To be sure it was not
more than half dozen years be-
fore the steel bridge was completed
and at that time 1t was thought that
the structure would be able to handle
the maximum traffic burden and
would last for years, but the men
who built the bridge did not realize
that the growth OF Clarksburg would
be 80 great or that 1t would come
in so short time.
The New. Bridge.
By 1912 1t was fully realized that
a hrf 1ra
old one. The old one was not only
unable to carry the increased traffic,
but 1t had been subjected to such
heavy wear that 1t was very near an
unsafe condition. In 1918 the city
OF Clarksburg decided to hold bond
election to provide means for re-
placing the old bridge. The bond
issue passed and. on May IL. 1912, the
contract was let to the Luten Bridge
Company, Of York, Pa.
In the beginning of this sketch 1t
was stated that not more than ten
years ago the people Of West Vir-
glnia did not believe that it was
possible to build bridge Of any
size out of concrete. IN 1897, when
the work on the old steel bridge
was started, the men who built it
would have considered building the
Fourth street bridge Of pastboard
as soon as OF concrete. However,
by 1914 the, people of West Virginia
and other states had taken q Diff
ferent view Of concrete. And Profess
sor Luten, formerly a member Of
the faculty OF Purdue Engineering
School, had done much to cause
this change.

erected insthe United States probably
