BOARD OF TRADE GROUP

Abutment Of Weakened Structure
Reported Hurt by Heavy
Holiday Traffic.

An independent and thorough in
spection of the condition of Chain
Bridge, which has on numerous &C.
casions been declared in a dangerous
state, will be made this week by the
committee on bridges Of the Wash
ington Board of Trade with a view
to determining if, in the committee
opinion, it should Immediately be
closed to traffic, it was announced
today.
This action was authorized today
by Edwin c. Graham, president of the
Board of Trade, following the an
nouncement yesterday that Engineer
Commissioner Ladue had ordered Dis
trict officials to make n survey of the
condition of the bridge. which was re.
ported further weakened by the heavy
holiday traffic Monday.
The members Of the bridges COM
mittee of the trade body are civil and
bridge engineers and several times
have made inspections of the bridge
and warned of its condition.
Special attention will be devoted by
the committee to the south abutment
of the bridge, which has been found
to have deteriorated and cracked in
a number of places.

/, he continued. IT have most delight

pleasant relations with members of

are more isolated in the presidency.
While President sees great many
people, he cannot avoid defending
himself against too great familiarity.
He has got to be reserved and care
full.
The responsibilities of the presi-
dency are nerve-wracking. If one is
constituted like an ordinary man,
life in the presidency, while not re-
Quiring the same mental and intel
lectual labor that attaches to the
chief justiceship, does enormously
consume nervous energy, and is more
trying than work on the bench.

he said. and then as an afterthought:
