THE HISTORY OF THE OLD BRIDE—HOW IT WS FUB- (CHASED—DESCRIPTION OF THE BRIDGE TO BE CON- STRUCTED—PROGRESS OF THE WORK, ETO. Col. P. C. Hains has submitted to the Chief of Engineers his report on the purchase and recon- struction of the Aqueduct bridge. He states that ‘the construction of the original bridge was com- menced about 1835 by the Alexandria Canal Co, for the purpose of carrying their canal from its Junction with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, in Georgetown, across the Potomac to the Virginia shore. The structure was originally intended to bea stone bridge, with nine arches, but, as the funds were insufficient, the piers and abutments only were built of masonry, and the river was spanned by wooden Burr-truss bridge, which carried the canal trunk. In 1866 the Alex- andria Canal Co. leased their canal and the bridge to Messrs, Quigley, Wells & Dungan for a term of ninety-nine years’ The old truss bridge, which had become decayed and unsafe, was replaced by a Howe truss, and the latter was subsequently strengthened by wooden arches, The structure a8 thus strengthened 1s now In 1868 the lessees were authorized by act of Con- gress to erect and maintain in connection with the aqueduct a highway bridge, and to charge certain rates of toll, and the bridge was used as a highway bridge until 1886, For some years prior to that date, however, the condition of ‘the bridge Was not deemed satisfactory, and two detailed ex- aminations of it were made under the direction of the Chief of Engineers and the results reported to Congress, PURCHASE OF THE BRIDGE. 4 Provision was made for the purchase of the’ bridge by act of Congress, February 23, 1881, but the Alexandria Canal Co. declined to unite with the lessees Of the bridge in accordance with the pro- visions Of the act, and the bridge was not pur- chased, Pro were invited for the construc tion of a bridge at the Three Sisters, which was provided by the same act, but the appropriation, $140,000, Was insufficient and no contract was made, ‘The act of June 21, 1881, made an increased. appropriation, $240,000, for the purchase and recon- struction of the aqueduct bridge or the construc. tion of a bridge at the Three Sisters. Under this act negotiations for purchase were opened, but in order to insure the United States a clear title t was that certain sums should be reserved trom the $125,000 provided for the pur- chase, to await judicial decison or friendly com- promfse of certain liens and claims which had been found by the Department of Justice against the property, At date there remains unpaid $15,000 of the purchase money awaiting the ad- Justment of the claim of the District for certain unpaid taxes, THE DRED DETAINED IN ALEXANDRIA. ‘The deed conveying the bridge to the United States wassent to Alexandria for record in the office of the county clerk, but its return was de- clined except upon the payment of a tax levied by the State of Virginia amounting to $125. No reply huas Deen received to the question of payment, which was submitted to the Chief of Engineers, and the deed still remains with the county clerk at Alexandria. ‘Ten thousand dollars of the ap- propriation was made avaliable for the condemna- Uon of the north abutinent of the bridge. Steps have been taken in this direction, and the matter is now in the ‘hands of the district attorney. Col, Hains re- fers to the necessity of closing the bridge by the District Commissioners some months prior wo its purchase, on account of its dangerous condition, and to the examination made by a bridge expert to ascertain its true condition, in consequence of a petition by citizens to the Secretary of War to have it reopened, resulting in the decision that it was UNSAFE FOR PUBLIC TRAVEL. ‘The bridge was, however, kept open for the use of pedestrians, Col. Hains’ report 1s accompanied by the report of a board of engineer officers, con- sisting of Lieut. Cols, Merrill and Hains and Major King, to whom the plans for recon- struction Were referred, which recommended that the bridge be rebuilt of iron with a draw, ‘This report covered a petition from a number of citizens expressing, thelr, views as to the import. ance of a draw. ‘The estimated cost of a bri with a draw, however, exceeded the amount avail- able, and it Was thereforce decided to reconstruct WITHOUT A DRAW, leaving to Congress the question of providing a draw by further legislation, An appropriation of $26,000 for this purpose was contained in the deft ctency appropriation bill, which failed to become a law. THE NEW BRIDGE. Proposals were invited February 3, 1887, for a Dridge tobe built of tron upon the existing piers and abutments, and to have a clear width of road- Way of 24 feet, with two sidewalks, each 6 feet wide in ‘the clear. The contract was awarded, after careful examination of the plans submit to the Mount, Vernon Bridge Co, for $90,805.50, and by oevober it ite "a comtree was isd made byroctouer a 18 with ‘Brocn & Feely, of Alexandria, for the north- ern embankment and slope paving, the work to be completed by August: 1 1be7. “Since the award of the contract for reconstruction the preparation of iron for the new bridge has been in progress at the works of the Mount Vernon company. Little progress has been made, however, with the masonry. More vigorous action will be required of the contractors in order that ‘the masonry may have time to thoroughly set be- fore any portion of the iron superstructure is placed upon it. Breen & Feely, under their con- tract have made good progress) and have placed in position about one-half of ‘the emb: it which will be required. The financial statement shows that of the amount available—§240,000—$114,970 was ex- pended ea the past fiscal year. Theoutstand- Standing Mabilities at the end of the yearamount- ed Lo $2,317.60, leaving $122,712.37 as the amount available at the beginning ‘of the present fiscal year. ————_+e+______ Free of Duty.
