NEW BRIDGE PIER
 LOST AT SUS|1NA

According to recent arrivals from the coast, the new concrete pier which was being erected at Susitna river crossing, for the support of one end of the massive steel rail- road bridge which is to span the river at that point, collapsed when it was almost completed and is now a jumbled pile of debris on the river bank, or was at the time those bringing the report passed the scene of the disaster.
 It is understood that large force was set at work clearing away the wreckage so that work on another pier might be started, and it is claimed by those in charge of the work that the collapse of the origi- nal pier will not materially delay the completion of the bridge.
 The wrecked pier was a massive pile of concrete and boulders, mea- surfing about 20 by 60 or 30 feet at the base, and it was to have been 60 feet high. It was about 54 feet high when the lower part of the pier gave way beneath the great weight. It is not known here whether or not any of the workers were injured.
 The reports received in Nenana indicate that large boulders were used with the cement and that none of the boulders were washed befofs being put in place. It is also claim ed that cold water was used in mixing the cement, which accounts for the fact that it did not "set'' properly.
 Col. Mears is said to have been in charge of the work at the time the accident happened. Bridge En- gineer Fogelstrom resigned shortly
