ASKS Mr.. CARLIN TO PUSH
AQUEDUCT BRIDGE PLANS
Crandal Mackey Urges Him to Use
His Energy and Resourcefulness"
for the Project.

Representative c. C. Carlin is urged
to use his energy and resourceful-
ness to hasten the preparation of
plans for the new Aqueduct bridge, the
making of soundings for the location
of piers and the making of the actual
survey, in a letter written him by
Crandal Mackey.
mo soundings yet have been made,
no locations fixed for the piers and no
actual survey of the ground made"
declared Mr.. Mackey in his letter. 1T
is contemplated building four piers.
connected by concrete arches. with a
span of about $50 feet. probably the
largest single concrete spans in the
world.
"As no river work can be carried on
during the winter. and as concrete work
cannot be carried on during the freezing
weather, ] am informed that no work
will be begun on the construction OF the
bridge until next spring." Mr.. Mackey
says After the work is begun the con-
struction of the cofferdams and the build
ing OF the piers and superstructures will
take more thap two years. SO that 1t does
not look as II we would get the much
needed bridge until the summer OF 1913
