new BRIDGES

NEW R. R. BRIDGE

Designs for new bridges which are
TO replace those now spanning the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, as
part OF the project for widening and
deepening that waterway, are being
prepared at the United States Engi-
neer Office. Sixth and King streets.
One OF these bridge will be AZ
Chesapeake City and another will
span Back Creek, the outlet OF the
canal to the Chesapeake Bay. other
bridges will be at Bethel. or Mary
land Pivot. Summit. 81. Georges and
probably at the new entrance 70 the
canal at Delaware City.
Cost OF making these improve
ments will run into several hundred
thousand dollars.
The bridges along the waterway
which are TO be replaced connect
highways which we're in use before
the canal itself was built, more than
one hundred years ago. Those roads
have right OF way, and when the
Federal government took over the
canal, with a view 10 developing II
into a waterway capable OF accom-
modating sea-going vessels OF large
size, II assumed the responsibility for
maintenance OF the bridge connec-
tlons.
The present width OF the canal
varies from "a feet In the locks 70
approximately 40 feet along some
OF the upper reaches. The i'm
proved waterway will have a width
OF 90 feet al the bottom.
In addition TO the highway bridges
the Engineer Ofioe has been ne
gotiating for months with the Penn
sylvania Railroad for the reconstruc-
ton OF the Delaware Railroad bridge
over the canal near the station
known as Canal. Cost Of this work

2. The French are TO reiterate
their refusal TO sign the Allied note

8. France has accepted Lloyd

The real reason Cor Premier Le-

conference was disclosed here today.
Lenine is suffering from a nervous
breakdown and severe Insomnia
While no fears for the Russian
Premier's life are expressed by
members OF the delegation here II
was said Lenine's physicians admit
his refusal to stop work greatly ag-
gravated his condition and may
force his eventual retirement.
Lenlne. wrecked by sleepless
nights. dared not trust his strength
to make the long trip TO Genoa. He
feared the subsequent sustained
struggle with European statesmen
would prove too great.
But. although he has given up his
ambition OF going 10 Genoa, Lenine,
like other leaders before him, will
not give up the reins OF leadership.
He insists on keeping his hand on
the wheel at Moscow. even at the
peril OF his health.
Lenlne has been M since last Sep
tember. 1t was reliably reported here.
He has scarcely enjoyed a nights
rest since that time. Recently. the
Russian Premier took an extended
trip 20 the Caucasus but returned
only slightly improved in health.
Occasionally he has a nights sleep
whereupon he plunges into a desk
full OF work. causing another serious
relapse. He Is said 10 be at present
