A MENACE T0 THE CITY Why the Long Bridge Should be Removed or Rebuilt. COL. HAINS’ STRONG REASONS lige The Railroad and the Driveway Should be Separated—A Description of the Proposed Pian Wagon Head Over the Fiats—Te Prevent Floods, a ELDOM during the past eight years has Col. Peter C. Hains, the engi- neer in charge of the improvements jon the Potomac river, missed an op- portunity to express his conviction that the presence of the Long Bridge in its present condition is a menace to the city, be- sides being a positive element of danger to those whose business takes them across it. There is scarce an annual report of this officer in which he has not called attention to this fact in forcible terms, pointing out with great strength and clearness the urgent necessity of either entirely destroying the bridge and re- Placing it with a new one or else repairing it so as to reduce the danger. He has always recom- mended the former course. The reclamation of the flats and the establishment on the river front of the large tract of new ground, together with the plans for turning this area into a park @t some future day, have had considerable bearing upon the question of bow to go to work to make the Long Bridge an ornament and a useful structure instead of the menace that it is Bow, besides which that much-aggrieved ques- tion of the railroads in the city has done a good deal to complicate the matter. THE NEED OF A BRIDGE. ‘There is no doubt about the necessity of the Presence of a large bridge at that point upon the river, not ouly from the needs of the rail- roads which enter and leave the city there but also for the accommodation of the large num- ber of people who daily make pilgrimages from Virginia. There is atali times acoustant stream of traflic across the bridge in either direction, and any accident that temporarily throws the bridge out of use seriously discommodes hun- dreds of farmers and others who are obliged to use the structure constantly. ‘The bridge is old and shaky and there have been serious doubts expressed at times as to its safety even in the calmest of weather, while during the periods of high waters it is a risk to life to venture across it. In connection with its consideration of the railroad problem in this city the Senate recently called upon Sec- retary Proctor for information bearing upon this whole matter, and in the reply which was sent to the Senate it is quite possible that the solution to the long vexed matter as to what to do with this bridge was found. The Senate wanted to know if, in the opinion of the Sec- retary of War. it was desirable to separate the wagon road from the railroad on the north side of the main channel of the Potomac, and if anything in this line should be done what it would cost. This was asked, it was stated, as bearmg upon the improvement of the river front. The Secretary, of course, referred the matter to the chief of engineers, who sent it at once to Col. Hains, who sent back his reply on the 2d of last April. In his report he gives a brief history of the bridge as follows: HISTORY OF THE LONG BRIDGE. Long bridge was first built in 1909 by the Washington Bridge Company, and the act of Congress, February 5, 1603, which authorized its construction authorized the collection of tolls. At that time there was no causeway be- tween the Washington channel and the main or Virginia channel, as there isnow. In 143] the bridge was destroyed by a freshet. In 1834 au appropriation was made to rebuild it and it Was rebuilt. In 1540 it was again partially d stroyed by a freshet and the sudden breaking up of ice. In 1843 it was repaired and again opened for travel. In 1870 the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company was authorized to take possession of and extend its tracks across the bridge (see uct approved June 21, 1870.) under certain conditions. These conditions of ownership were. first, that the railroad should at all times maintain the bridge in good condition for railway and ordinary travel, it being to remain at all times a free bridge for public use for ordinary travel; second, that if the company should at any time neglect to keep the bridge in good repair the jovernment might enter again into possession. y virtue of that actof Congress the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company owns the bridge. by which is meant the entire structure from the Washington to the Virginia shore, in- cluding the causeway across the flats, the total length of this being 4,677 feet. The freshet of a year ago did great damage to the bridge, and it was afterward necessary to support that part between the abutment at 1ith street and the north end of the causeway by tresties. COL. HAINS’ OPINION. Col. Hains said that in its present condition he regarded the bridge as being far froma convenient structure, and that the portion spanning the Washington channel is now in such a state that the question of rebuilding it entirely rather than repairing it is, from motives of economy alone, one for serious consideration. He adds: [t may be assumed that there will always exist @ necessity for a bridge at or in close proximity to the existing bridge; that it will be needed for railroad and ordinary traffic; that the traffic of both kinds over it will in- erease from year to year. Under the circumstances, and in view of its Present condition and of the improvements Bow being made by the government on the river front, it would seem that it is desirable to separate the wagon road from the railroad, provided their separation be made in ac- cardance with some comprehensive plan of im- provement that is ultimately aimed at for this particular locality, and in which the railroad company and the government are both so Vitally interested. WHAT IS NEEDED. The first thing then to determine is, what should be the project aimed at? The govern- ment bas already expended over a million of dollars im improving the river front by filling up the marshes or flats and digging out chan~ nels for the accommodation of commerce. It has created an arca of 650 acres of land above overflow by ordinary tides where formerly there existed acres of pestilential marshes. ‘The land thus made, though not yet raised to the full Beight mtended, already assumes a Value estimated as in excess of its cost, and is susceptible of being made into one of the fin- est parks in the District. This land i cut in two by the causeway portion of the bridge, and, should the government decide to utilize it & a park, it is of supreme importance that the railroad tracks be carried over it on a grade that will allow free communication beneath them. To keep the railroad ou the grade of the park would be decidedly objectionable. Again, that part of the Long Bridge that spaus the main channel of the river is, as now built, 4 serious obstruction to the free flow of the river in times of freshets, The board of engineers that recommended the plan of im- proving the river front, now being carried out, called attention to the necessity of rebuilding that structure with wider spans at an early tage of the work. The freshet of June last emphasized it. Reports have frequently been made to Cougress calling atteution to the mat- ter. Had the freshet of last June occurred when the river was full of ice a gorge would most probably have formed at the bridge and destroyed it. “At the same time a much larger area of the city would have been inundated. There is no possible way of preventing freshets. Moreover, they are more apt to occur when the ice in the upper Potomac breaks up after heavy rains. Long Bridge has Dbeew at least partially destroyed several times already. When there i « freshet in the river ample room should be given to allow the water totlow off freely. If it be partially dammed Up. a8 it now is, by the Long Bridge as con- a the level and chane pent improvement of the river front, and it is intimately connected with the question of sep- arating the wagon road from te bes © nett side x oe channel, reply, therefore, to the inquiry of the Senate of the United ‘States paar that the separation of the wagon road from the 8 project that looks to the a of grade ge railroad tracks across fend enough to give passage way for vehicles under taem and to the reconstruction of the bridge over the main channel of the river on wider fp sop hp wees cause less obstruction to w of the water, .
