With this in view, the width of road- way proposed by the beardzand upon which the tracks are to be laid, is not less than sixty feet, the sidewalks, bordering the roadway, to be each not less than twelve feet wide, making the otatiwidth, between railings, not less than eighty-four feet. In the opinion of the board a steel bas- cule draw for this bridge is preferable to a swing or an ordinary vertical lift draw, and the substitution of a turve, instead of aright line, for the lowest part of the draw is regarded as desirable. The bascule form is provided for in design No, 2. Referring to the use of steel and concrete combined in construction, the board does not favor the use of concealed iron or steel work that requires painting or other similar application for its preservation. It is claimed, however, especially by advocates of the Melan system, that steel well im- bedded in hydraulic cement concrete or properly coated with the same is practi- cally imperishable and advocates of that and other similar methods of combining iron or steel and concrete in construction have adduced, as arguments, many observa- tlons as to such preservation of tron or steel that had been imbedded in or coated with concrete for a jong term of years. A large number of bridges has been bullt within the past few years on the Melan or similar system (concrete and steel com- bined), though the longest arch span in this country of which the board has definite in- formation that is built on that system 1s one of 125 feet. Professor Burr's plan No. 2, which is here placed No. 1 in the order of merit, to be constructed on the Melan sys- tem, proposes Spans as great as 192 feet. As to the grade for the roadway, the board is of opinion that it should rise slightly toward the crown of the bridge, and that the initial point of the approach at the intersection of 23d street and New York avenue should be at an elevation (refer- ence) of about fifty-five referred to the United States engineer datum (mean low water of the Potomac). Also that while the design No. 2 of Mr. Burr is regarded as the most suitable and the best, the general treatment of the towers, especially at the draw of Mr. Burr's plan No. 1, is regarded as preferable to that of his No. 2. The board is of the opinion that the gen- eral design of Mr. Burr, designated as the first in the order of merit, meets the con- ditions of the problem, and should be adopted, subject to the recommendations and modifications herein set forth as to width, slope of roadway, curve of under side of draw, towers, provision for tram cars, elevation of initial point, &c., and such other minor modifications as expe- rience may suggest, upon the undertaking of the work or during its progress. The modifications recommended will, it is estimated, add about 32 per cent to the original estimate for the sald design No. 2 of Mr. Burr, bringing it up to about $4,860,000. Prof. Burr's Design. Prof. Burr’s design No. 2, which is des- ignated by the board as first in the order of merit, is described in the report as fol- lows: This is a design for a single-deck bridge, 60 feet In width between railings, providing for two sidewalks, each 10 feet wide, and a roadway, 40 feet wide. This design makes no provision for street railway tracks. The total length of the open work of the bridge proper and approaches !s about 3,400 feet. The bridge proper is to consist of three 192-foot span masonry arches, one steel draw span having a clear width of 159 feet, and three more 192-foot span masonry arches. $ The 192-foot masonry arches are circular (segmental), the springing line being 24 feet above mean low water, the rise above the spring 29 feet, and’ the ‘radius of the in- trados 173.8 feet. The clear head room under the crown of the arch Is 53 feet. A clear head room of about 51 feet at low water is provided un- der three arches for a width of 50 feet at the center, and of about 45 feet 4 inches for a width of 100 feet. The face of the arch ring is of granite, but the construction of the main part of the ring is on the Melan system, there being five main concrete steel ribs. The granite arch ring is 5 feet 6 inches deep at the crown and ® feet 6 inches deep at the spring, while the con- crete steel ribs are 30 inches deep at the crown and 7 feet 3 inches at the spring. A solid masonry spandrel wall, partly of granite and partly of concrete, rests upon the granite arch ring. The asphalt road- way and granolithic sidewalks are sup- ported by concrete floor arches between I-beams. The weight of this floor system ts auled sown te the en ring by framed steel posts, tween the above masonry spandrel walls. BES ‘The draw span has two bascule arms sup- ported on trunnions, balanced by rear ex- tensions and counterweights. The clear opening is about 135 feet, the clear span at low water level 159 feet, and the span, from center to center of trunnions, 170 feet. The bascule arms are composed of five steel trusses of the lattice girder type with parallel cords twelve feet six inches deep between centers. The clear head room is about fifty-one feet when the draw is closed. The floor is to be of asphalt cork blecks, molded to fit the buckle plates, which are supported by the floor beams and stringers carried by the trusses. It is Proposed to operate the draw by four fifty herse-power electric motors. The Washington approach is to consist of twelve sixty-foot span masonry arches, back of which {s an earthen embankment about 550 feet long. The sixty-foot span masonry arches are full semi-circular, the springing line being twenty-four feet above low water, the rise above the spring thirty feet, and the radius of the intrados thirty feet. The arch is constructed of the same materials and in the same manner as the 192-foot Masonry arch above described. The granite arch ring is four feet deep throughout, while the concrete and steel ribs are ‘sixteen inches deep at the crown and forty-eight inches deep at the spring. The Arlington approach will consist of fifteen sixty-foot masonry arches, identical with those composing the Washington ap- proach, back of which is about 1,350 linear feet of earth embankment. The piers and their foundations are simi- lar to those of design No. 1, the six ma- sonry pliers in the river being on caissons and the remainder inside cofferdams. The grades proposed are identical with those of design No. 1, and the decorative features are similar, the single arch at the bascule piers being replaced by a series of three arches, the larger over the road- The Idol of the Turf.

Piers and Grades. ‘The piers and girders, etc., in design No. 1, above referred to in design No. 2, are de- scribed as follows: The two bascule pliers and the adjacent piers between the 283-foot steel spans are to be built on bed rock by the pneumatic process, the caissons to be filled with con- crete. The other piers are also to be founded upon bed rock and built up within cofferdams, The facing of all plers is to be granite and the interior concrete. The shore piers of the river spans and all the piers of the approaches and of the abut- ments are pierced with arches whose axes are parallel to the axis of the structure. These arches have spans of twenty-four or twenty-eight feet and their springing Mnes are at the elevation of low water. They are inserted for purposes of economy. The combination of steel with concrete is used in the piers as well as in the arches. The grades of the upper roadway are as follows: Beginning with an elevation of about forty-five feet at the intersection of 23d street and New York avenue, there is a rising grade of 2 per cent to the first arch, from which point the grade is level at an elevation of sixty-five feet to the end of the open work on the Arlington side, whence it falls, upon a slight grade, to the Georgetown and Alexandria road. The maximum grade proposed is 2 per cent. The principal divisions of the bridge are marked by massive masonry arches and towers, decorated with emblematic groups of statuary, etc. Upon each of the bascule piers is erected a single arch, transverse with the roadway, constituting the most prominent decorative feature of the bridge.
