One of the most difficult prob

the Eastern Shore end of the

Susquehanna River, cut in an
other geologic period, still exists.
There the water is SO feet deep,
and the mud, 80 feet thick below
that. The mud must be removed

|of Prince Georges and Montgom-
cry Counties may be discolored
tomorrow due to temporary clos
ing Of the Willis School Filtra-
ton Plant, near Laurel.
The Washington Suburban San

ing the two counties.
The discoloration will have no
practical effect and the water will

tenn. the commission said.
The temporary measure - one

a Hyattsville delegation that will
confer Thursday with the State
Roads Commission in Baltimore
regarding possible benefits from
the Federal urban-aid program.
Plans for the conference were
made last night by the Hyatts-
vile City Council. Under the
program Federal aid is provided

improvements on roads that in

"cans." They are more than 20
feet in diameter. Most of the
piers will be round columns of
concrete and the cans will be the
forms under water. They will not
be removed. Eventually they will
rust away, but it won't matter.
The divers are the highest paid
work,nen on the job. They get
$27 for q six-hour day. the New
York rate" for spending possibly
half that time under water. The
time above water isn't exactly
fun. Workmen are setting up
large tanks for them on shore and
on boats-the decomposition
chambers that help them avoid
"the bends"
Poured by Gravity.
1t is not necessary to get water
out of the cans. The concrete is
poured through tube, by gravity.
The heavy gravel and cement
of the concrete mixture merely
go to the bottom. That's all there
is to it. The fact that the con-
crete loses most of it's water con-
tent very slowly under the sur
face is all to the good. It tends
to make the concrete monolithic-
give it the quality of being one
stone.
Once the surface is reached,
the rest of the pier construction
is similar to the concrete con-
struction with which every side
walk engineer is familiar.
Mr.. Herman points to the most
interesting parts of the construc-
ton, the great concrete anchors
for the cables of the suspension
bridge. They are 149 feet long,
Is feet wide. Pile drivers now are
sinking interlocking steel piles to
contain the concrete.
After these great blocks are
finished by Frederick Snare, Inc,
of New York, the contractor build
ing the substructure for the sus-
pension bridge, another contractor
will build a wide island about
them. The necessity of the island
is obvious. If a ship were to go
wrong in a fog and hit one of the
cables of the bridge where it is
strung low to the anchor-it
would be just too bad.
The cables will be supplied by
the firm of John Roebling & Sons,
which puilt the Brooklyn Bridge
in 1883 and has made the cables
for just about every suspension
bridge on this side of the Atlantic
since.
1,60O-Fo0t Span.
The span of the suspension
bridge will be 1000 feet, and its

GreenbeIf Defers Action
On Personal Property Tax

Action on the question of per-
sonal taxes in Greenbelt was de-
ferred last night by the City
Council because a member was
unable to attend the meeting.
A personal property tax in the
Maryland community has been
law for a long time. The ordi-
nance never had been enforced
until last year, however.
Hit hardest was the Greenbelt
Consumer Services, a trade CO.
operative. The coop received a
81 900 tax bill. In response to a
protest by the coop. however, the
council passed special ordinance
relieving the organization of tax
payment for 1949.
A delegation Of coop officials
appeared last night-but Council
man Frank Lastner was absent
and Mayor Elizabeth Harrington
ordered discussion deferred until
the April 28 meeting.
