| DATA ASSEMBLED
Parkway Plans Necessitate
(, New Structure South Of
il Pennsylvania Avenue.

Lieut.. ool. o.. g. Grant, Sd, director
ct public buildings and public parks,
Is seeking data for the Rock Creek and
Potomac Parkway Commission for con-
struction Of o bridge ut q point south
Of where the Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge arches over Rock Creek The
United States Engineer ONCE has been
experimenting borings, under the di-
rectton Of Maj. Joseph d. Arthur, jr.,
district engineer for the War Depart
ment for the Washington area, to OBJ
tain information on rock conditions
that will form the basis for construct
ing the new bridge.
Provision has been made beneath
the new M street Bridge across Rock
Greek 30 that when the Rock Greek and
Potomac Parkway Is extended toward
the river. the new highway may pass
along the right bank of the creek
beneath that structure. It will be
necessary to construct bridge south of
pennsylvania avenue to carry the park
way thoroughfare over the left bank
OF Rock Greek, so that it can be linked
up with the Rock Greek and Potomac
Parkway approach, now nearing COM
pletion near the Lincoln Memorial.
The highway in the Rock Greek and
Potomac Parkway is now completed as
fur as the bridge at Massachusetts, ave-
nue. across the creek. and at that point
and between the avenue and the @
Street Bridge the driveway is on the
left bank Of the creek. Plans have
been made by Col. Grants Office to
construct o bridge across the creek In
the vicinity OF p street, and this will
be done rs soon Is funds become avail
able.
From the vicinity Of p street to near
x street, where Rock Greek empties
. aaf
Is planned to run on the right bank
Of the creek. Thus another bridge is
necessary below Pennsylvania avenue
to bring the highway, leading down
from the parkway, back to the left
bank OF Rock Greek, 80 that it can be
connected with roads distributing trafic
into Potomac Park and across the new
Arlington Memorial Bridge into Viz
ginia and down the new Mount Vernon
Memorial Highway.
Wants Data on An Details.
While there are no funds available
As yet for the work south Of @ street,
Col. Grant desires to have f1rst-hand
Information available on all details of
the work. A new bridge is being plan
ned ut p street by the District gov
eminent to replace the present struc-
tlre that carries the street car tracks
across the valley. The once OF public
buildings and public parks viii be called
upon to supervise q great amount of
excavation in the area Of the Rock
Greek and Potomac parkway between
p and M streets as the deveopment is
pushed southwark.
Work in the section between Massa-
chusetts avenue and the @ Street
Bridge Is proceeding satisfactorily, in
the opinion of engineers. Excavation
operations are nearing completion and
. new highway is being constructed, but
this will be allowed to settle during the
Winter, so that a modern thoroughfare
may be constructed In the near future.

1.-THE average gain in the index of nine
railroad equipment issues has been only
60 per cent, as compared with 94.6 per
cent in the index of 336 industrials.
During the major upward swing ex-
tending from April, 1925, to August,
1929, the railroad equipment shares adj
vanced by only 1922 per cent, while the
general industrial index rose 1920 per
cent. At the highest levels Of last year,
the industrial index stood $3.50 per cent
above the 1921 low; the railroad equip
ment group at the 1929 peak showed a
gain of only 1922 per cent over the
postwar low.
Average depreciation in rail equip
ment issues during major downswings
has correspondent very closely to that
experienced by the industrial list as a
whole. During the four bear markets
which have occurred since 1919, our in
dex of nine railroad equipment shares
has shown an average loss of 20 per
cent, as against an average decline Of
80 per cent in the index Of 336 indus

duStry as whole since elimination Of
the postwar depression period. AS a
result of steadily increasing efficiency on
the part OF leading carriers, demand for
freight cars and locomotives has, in
recent years, failed to gain proportion
ately with volume of goods transported.
Furthermore, strenuous competition,
coupled with condition of serious
overcapacity, has held down profit
margins on such business as has been

''1t is not surprising, therefore, that
