Mellon's Name Mentioned. More than a year ago overtures were made to the Public Buildings Commission on behalf of an unnamed philanthropist to present the Capftal with a building to house a national art sgailery. Senator Smoot, chairman of the commission, has never divulged the name of the sponsor, but it has been generally Winderstood, and never specifically denied, that the proposed donor is Secretary Mellon. Provision is made on triangle plans already ap- proved by the architects of the tri- angle for location of the building on B street northwest, betwean Twelfth and Fourteenth streets. These plans must have the approval of the Secre- tary of the Treasury and have not yet been made public.

C. Whitehurst, Assigant Engineer Commissioner. ‘The report. based on recent obser- vations taken by the bridge engineers, revealed that the morth wing wall shows new openings in the wlane of the foundation which 1t a1id presents “serious possibilities. The deteriorated condition of the abutment caused District officials to close Chain Bridge to vehizular traflic some months ago, and in view of ihe new report of the hri engineers, it is likel¢ that pedestrian travel will be prohibited. Should the abutment collapse before contemplated recon- struction starts, it was pointed ont, the delivery of water from tn: Dale- carlia reservoir to Arlington County, Va., would be interrupted temporarily, as the bridge carries the water mains. Disintegration Rapid. The report explained that observa- tions taken October 20 revealed that the waters of the Potomac at the abutment had risen 20 feet in 48 hours. “At flood time,” it said, “‘a large dis- charge was noted throughout the en- tlre face of the Virginia abutment, ver- fying the original assertion that th portion of the structure contained a large percentage of vold: “On November 2 no perseptible out- ward movement was apparent, but or the first time since 1920, an opening of three-thirty-seconds of an inch was discovered in the vertical erack in the face of the abutment on the upstream sual examination of this crack ifled the measurements, as it is apparent that separation has oc: curred and that disintegration is pro- ceeding at & greater rate than hereto- fore noted. “The north wing wall shows new openings in the plane of foundation limits and general segregation is very apparept.

Bids for the work opened yesterday afternoon by Ronald M. Brennan, chiet clerk of the engineering department, revenlel that the prices quoted by contractors ranged from $36.120 to $68,000. ‘There were nine bids submitted. The H. 8. Hatton Construction Co. quoted the lowest price of $36,120. the bids contained alternative propo- sals, which were sought in order to obtain the 1deas of the contractors for replacing the abutment, but all of them were higher than the lowest bid for building a new concrete abutment, The bids were referred to the bridge department for investigation and re- port. The contract for the new abut- ment probably wlll be awarded as soon as the department makes its report, ‘While the engineer department is ‘without a specific appropriation for re- constructing the abutment, it has planned to use the bridge repair fund of $50,000 and to seek a deficiency covering the cost of the work the forthcoming session of Congress.
