The proposed construction of g double, or atbor o four-way, bridge at Medison stroot is worthy of sorious conslderation § and tholden, it found impracticablo through loonl cruscs at that point, shonld be borne in mind by the Doard of Public Worke for futuro npplioation st other stroats, Tunnols, though a safo und suro woy for pedestrisus, ore Lirosomo and unpleasant, and nimost nsoless for heavy or bulky transpor- tation. Tt is doubtful it the publio will consent to the exnonditure of monoy for another wagon tunnel for many yonrs to come, That at Wash- Ingtan atreet, which was at boat & poor piaco of work, is disintegrating so rapidly from moisturo in the nivor portion that it will roquire robuild- ing during the prosent decade. Tho chiof ob- {oction to tunnelu by pedestrians, not to men- ton thoir cxcessive cost, is the faiiguo in py- conding the appronchos, from which there can be no relief. 'I'ho floor of a foot tunnol built ne shallow a8 possible cannot ba less than forty feot below tho presont sidewalls of the bridge, thus: To surface of water, Wator over tunual, Tunnel floor to top of ar Tolalesuseseesersiass o weserineres 40 ool In leaving tho tunnol, & poreon is compelled to climb as far a8 if going to the fourth story of o bulldwg, 'Truo, tho stops may Lo mado casy, but the fact will remain that oue bas to porform the extra labor of litling hip own Weight forty foot Liigh each timo ho crosses the rivor by this means, Theo paramount object in tho construotion of & Dbridgo ncross tho Chicago River should be tho sccommodation of the tiavel that is to cross upon it. ‘The openiugs or spans, when directly ncross or perpendicular to the channel, shonld o of a size to pass tho largest vessol readily, and no largor, ~Auy onlargement of the draw over what Is required is o detrimont, adding oxtin woight and unwioldiness in the moviug port of the structuro, and pmlungm% tho delny of passengers evory time {¢is opened, Tha bridges at Clark sud Wells streets, besldes being unsymmotrical, aro violations of this princlple. It wonld soom that, {n building them, tho Joard of Public Works had forgotion that the openings were for tho tamo vensols which navigato tho South Branob, aud worked from the idea that, laving o larger stream, thoy must make the draw proportion- ntely lnrger, 1t ie truo that tho presont stono plors at Madi- sou streot biidge, when finished about fiftcen yonra sinco, wero found too closs to admit tho pasaage of the largo side-wheol steamor Arotio, and o snit againsg thoe city for domages onsuod ;* but that stylo of boat, with its' ponderous over- hanging sidos, {8 now a thing of the past with tho designera of our Iske marino, and thero haa mover been any more trouble from the narrow- noss of tho Madison streot draw, Tho steam- barge Amazon (sinca wrockod), tho largest oraft in tounnge ever built for Inke navigation, has passed through it boch partially and fully ladon. The chief obstocle in constructing a four-way ‘bridge for vebicles, with sidowalks, on the samo level at Madison stroot would bo ita sizo. Tho Iongth of draw to give tha same oponiug for vose 8ol as tho prosent bridgo, boing Incrensed just to tho oxtent that the width of - tho rondway 18 enlarged, in order to give an additional doublo wagon-way of eightcon feet, audja third or con~ tro truss which would probablybo'deomed neces- sary, the joint betweon draw and abutment wonld hisvo to bo ton foot nearor tho bauk on ench sido, This includes no enlargement of sidewalks, which at this bridge wore always too emall. The oxtra weight, howaver, of thig longer draw, 88 well a8 of the third truss, would bo fully balnced by the in~rensed purchuse given in operating by the !urfin pier on Wwhich its turn-table would sfand, and it would probably be found to open and clore in ag Bhort a timo ag at presont with the same force, - 'ho bridgo At Raudolpb street needs im- mediate renowal, Perwanent stone-piors havoe never boon putin at that street, as atall other bridges in the bueinesa part of the city. Thero is no elevator in close proximity that would be injured by reduction of its douk facilities, and the land damages would bo comparatively small, The advantage of doubling tho bridge capacity thore would b groeator than at any othor street, excopt Madison,~ It it not, therefore, plain thak Raudolph strcet gives the ovportunity to teat the wide-bridge E)mjoul, and, if - succossful, to engblo us to mond our ways similarly at oll.mr pointa ¥ ———— BHYSTER.
