progressive step in the construc-

in Richmond with the Introduction
OF recently invented box culvert
by the y. r. Holmes Construction
Company. OF Philadelphia, Eastern

eral OF the most prominent engineers
in the city are said 10 have already
expressed themselves as being heart
lily in favor OF its usc and number
OF contracting firms are now investi-
eating its use in other cities as a
means OF testing the practicahiii.y
of the culvert.
MIR. Holmes has recently opened Of
fees in Richmond for the 6istribu-
ton of the product, and within a
few weeks he expects to have local
offices in the larger cities of this Sec
tion of Virginia.
MIR. Holmes stated that this box
culvcrt, which is prepared at the fac
tory and shipped to the place where
IL Is to be installed, is advantageous
in road construction, in the repairing
Of pipe lines under railroads and to
farmers who find it necessary to
change the entrance to their fields or
farms
Mr.. Holmes said that one Of tho
greatest troubles encountered in re-
pairing culvcrts under railroads in
that tr. trains pass over before the
concrete is fully set and separates
the homogeneous mass, which will
never again harden as II should be.
The new culvert which has been in
vented comes already poured and set.
ard can be inserted under the trackc
without loss OF time.
To the farmer who finds II ncces-
eary TO change the entrance to his
farm. the concrete culvcrt is hem
encial because II has 100 per cent
salvage value and can be taken up
and removed to any part OF his farm.
This culvert has been in use for
two years in Denver, Col, the home
OF the inventor. and has been tested
with n seventeen roller. which
was driven over lengths of the cul-
vert laid level with the road.
