The New Wailua Bridge
High Class Engineering

1t has been evident for good while
now that there was something doing
at the Wailua bridge but in the early
stages it has not been evident what.
The old steel bridge which has been
in place some twenty-five years or so,
owing to the action of the salt spray
from the sea, and perhaps to neglect
in early years, is now pretty badly
gone, especially at the Kapaa end
Furthermore it is too narrow for the
present greatly increased traffic. At
first there was some thought of re
pairing and widening it, but it was
finally decided to put in new con-
crete structure which should be equal
to the growing demands, and good for
all time.
The new bridge will consist of six
concrete arch spans 60 feet in length,
making a bridge $50 feet long by IS
feet wide. 1t will be what is known
as the through arch type of bridge
with the roadway part way up the
arches and suspended from them.
The concrete reinforced arches will
have a radius of 32 feet and a cross
section dimension of % 2G inches
The arches will rest on concrete
piers built up from solid foundations
deep in the bed of the river. These,
with the exception of the end abut-
ders securely banded together at the
top and extending down to a solid
foundation, from 20 to 60 feet below
the water. The wooden caissons, or
retaining barrels, in which these con-
crete cylinders are built, are made of
long slaves banded together by hoops,
and driven down by a pile driver
hammer, two at time, little by little
around the circle until they have
reached a solid bearing at the bottom
The water and sand are then pumped
out and the concrete filled in.
The abutment on the Kapaa end,
where the present structure does not
rest on a very good foundation, will
be reinforced by driving about it a
series of concrete piles which will go
down well into the coral stratum, and
the whole will then be banded to-
gether into a solid mass.
About 1900 barrels of cement will
be required for the bridge, and some
60 tons of steel. The completed
structure will cost from $4,000 to
$4,000 and will be the largest bridge
of the kind in the Territory, and the
best. 1t will be completed about the
end of the year.
The design of the bridge is one
much used in modern times, and of
demonstrated efficiency. The plans
were made by Mr.. Moragne, the
County engineer, who has given the
closest and most careful supervision
to the construction, being camped
right there with it most of the sum-
mer.
From the point of view of an ap-
preciative public, one of the most
commendable features of the enter
prise is the fact that it has not in the
least obstructed or delayed public
traffic.

WISE APPRECIATION

The Corellis, who have made ouite-

German Infantry No Match Fo-
Americans.

Americans bore the brunt Of til:
new German thrust Monday and the
account they gave Of themselves has
brought praise from all quarters. 4
strong American counter attack sout'
| of the Marne river bend Monday com
pletely upset the Germans, who broke
| in retreat. The American troops
drove the enemy back all the way to
the railway skirting the Marne in the
region southwest Of Jaulgonne. In
the counter attack many prisoners
were taken The French general COM
manding the group of armies on this
sector sent congratulatory message
Monday to the American general COM
manding the forces which beat back
the enemy.
American machine gunners along
he~river assisted materially in break
ing up the early boche plans, for they
stuck to their posts and poured dead
ly streams of bullets into the eneriy
and only withdrew when their guns
were so hot they could not be fired.
One group of machine gunners hap
pened to be in place where the Ger
mans were anxious to erect bridge.
but their efforts were fruitless. The
American bullets piled up the Ger
man dead on the opposite bank of the
river every time the enemy started
to cross.
The correspondent talked with
some American soldiers now in hes
pital, who were in the thick of the
fighting this morning. They were in
complete agreement that the German
infantry was no match for the Amer
lean.
