Autos, and Horses Barred
Indefinitely From Main
Street Temporary Bridge

Automobile and horse drawn traffic
will be barred from the temporary
Main street bridge over Whitewater
for some time. city officials said Mon
day. However street cars and inter.
urbans will continue using the bridge
A supporting abutment to the struc-
ture gave way Friday afternoon, caus-
ing all traffic to be halted. 1t was
later found that the collapse of the
support did not endanger street car
lines.
A letter, from the county commits
sioners, was received by the board Of
works Monday, in which the county
board said that it would in no way be
responsible for the bridge, and that
the county would not stand for any
part of the damage incurred. The
board referred the letter to City Engi-
neer Davis.
1t is understood that the board does
not plan to make any large expendi-
lures for the repair of the temporary
bridge. In view Of the fact that l. L.
Smith. contractor for the new bridge,
has said that the new structure will
he completed within 60 days, board
members Monday expressed the opin-
ion that it would not be prudent to
spend any large amounts of money in
repairing the wooden structure.

FORCE
TOO SMALL, SAYS
ITS FORMER HEAD

WASHINGTON. March 20. - The
navy's submarine force was entirely
inadequate to meet the demands Of
war against Germany, Rear Admiral
A. w. Grant, formerly in command of
the Atlantic fleet submarine force,
testifying today before the senate COM
mittee, investigating the navy's con-
duct of the war. The submersibles, he
said, were too small, of widely different
types, of small radius of action, in
adequately armed and poorly designed
as to engines.
at took nearly two years OF propa-
ganda to get the navy department
to realize the importance of building
submarines capable of combating the
500 ton German U-boats," the witness
declared.
Must Lay UP for Repairs.
Admiral Grant said that soon after
the United States entered the war,
he was instructed to prepare and send
Is submarines abroad. He told the
department, he reclared, that is such
an expedition arrived at the Azores
Islands safely, the vessels would have
to be laid up for repairs virtually all
of the time, as they had been since
they were commissioned.
