The completed bridge plaza and water gate will enuu an ex- penditure estimated at $1,600 The bids were opened yesberdly at the office of public bulldings and public parks and brought offers gbm .wm: ol the largest engineering firms 3 country. The bidders lneluded tho Hunkin-Conkey Co. of Cleveland, whith h now mfied in erecting Arlington Thc names ot the eight bidders, with.| the number.of days each proposes to take to complete the work and the amount each is ready to do the task for, follow: The Hunkin-Conkey Co., in 200 days, $391,775; Frederic Snare Cor. the poration of New York, 180 days, $484,138; Merritt-Chapman & Scott of New York, 200 days, 42 Priest & Earle, Inc., of Phil- adelphia, 200 days, $371,890; cl'llflfll‘d Co. of Wuhin:wn, 200 dly! $417,000; George Hyman Co. of Washington, 180 days, $371,000; Grier-Lawrence Co. of | Statesville, N. C,, 180 days, $328,700, | and the Sanford & Brooks Co. of Bal- | timore, 180 days, $406.400. The awarding of this contract will mark another major step-in the expan- | sion of Washington westward, for the | foundations that are to be built will | form the base for structures that will | open new land and water thoroughfares in the vicinity of the Lincoln Memorial. ‘The water gates will consist of a flight of mmu steps leading down from the bridge plaza to the Potomac River to al e small boats to take on and dis- arge passengers. 'l'here will be underpasses under both arkway lpprolch to the plaza and the ridge itself. Within a few weeks, Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, execul;ive officer of the bridge | commission, hopes to be able to adver- tise for the purchase of granite for the | water gates and then to let the super- structure contract near the close of this year. This development is part of the plan to widen B street and its extension atraight through to the Capitol grounds as a great east-west boulevard. YOUTH, UNABLE TO FIND MISSING CASH, IS JAILED| Gas Station Employe Said He Had | Hidden Money to Prevent Its Theft, - Arraigned in Police Court yesterday, e!u.rgea with the larceny of $15 from gasoline filling station in the 600 block of E street, Richard C. Burke, 24 years old, of the 2400 block of Penn- sylvanis, avenue, declared he was not guilty but had hidden the money in a can at his place of employment to pre- | vent 6'5 theft. - Harges, manager of the filling nhflon expressed a desire to drop the | charge to Judge Ralph Given, and de- clared he wished only to recover his money. The court. however, refused and or- dered Detéctive John F. Boxwell, a resting officer, to accompany fendant to the spot where the money | was alleged to have been hidden, after | rebuking Hnrxu for his_attitude. | Returning to the courtroom, Boxwell | informed the court that Burke made & futile search-through more than 150 | containers of various types for the $18.| Judge Given sentenced Burke to serve | 60 days in jail.
