of four tracks should they ultimate ly be required.
 Some of the important quantities involved in the construction are as follows: 55,0O0 cubic yards of bor- row for approach fills; 1850 cubic yards of concrete in piers and abut- mens; 6l0,000 pounds of structural steel in the two bridges.
 Both bridges will have reinforced concrete floor slabs and substantial pipe and structural steel railings, Due to the size Of the approach fills and the certainty Of settlement Of this material the present plans provide for temporary water bound macadam pavement on these approaches, It Is expected that the ultimate type of pavement to be placed will be reinforced concrete.
 Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald today announced the award to the firm of Webster &, Webster of the contract for the erection of 50 miles of wire rope highway guide rail which will re- place existing wooden rail on scN- eral sections of state highway. Web ster Ga Webster received the con- tract on a low bid of 378,oo400. The substitution Of wire for wooden rail is being made in compliance with recent court decision, which recognized highway fencing as 0 safety factor.

present improved state highway east of the river where d grade crossing with particularly bad sight lines adds to the difficulties of easy passage.
 The work now in process of con- struCtion involves the building of d new bridge over the Housatonic river. a new bridge over the rail- road tracks and about one-half mile Of approach roads, all over entirely new locations. Starting at the june ton of the Housatonic River road with the road running from Lime Rock to the Hotchkiss school at Lakevillc which is now under con- struction, the new project runs to the north of the present bridge and extends straight across the river, over the railroad, and, by an easy curve, joins the present improved road leading to Canaan and the Bcrkshires.
 The bridge over the river will consist of a three span deck steel truss on concrete piers and abut- mcnts. The three spans arc rcspcc- lively = feet, 9G feet. and 4S feet. The total length of the bridge is o2S feet, | inches.
 Due to tho fact that the roadway on this part of the work is on d per cent grade, the design Of this bridge is rather unique. in that the top chord of the trusses has been inclined to parallel the grade while the bottom chord is kept horizontal. This results in a span which is ma terially deeper at one end than the other, but the reason for this lack of symmetry will be quite apparent even 10 the casual eye when the work is completed.
 The bridge over the railroad con- sists of three plate girder spans of the usual type. These spans arc re- spCctiycly 47 feet inches. 4o feet, inches, and 4 feet, 6 inches, or a total length of 40 feet. inches. The railroad bridge provides under clearance for two tracks as now planned, with an ultimate capacity
