Other Plans Went Awry. ¥ S 5 . ;i g 5 A score of plans for bridging the Mississippl here have gone awry as the longest test pilings available dis- appeared in the soft coze of the river bed. The problem of finding real “bot- tom” had intrigued engineers for 40 s, but experts believe the problem een solved. Great steel and con- towers, approximating in height Washington Monument, will be sunk to the river's deep-buried floor |to_support the giant span. ‘The foundation was only one of the | problems with which engineers had to cope. The bridge had to be long | enough to afford a gentle rise over the immense protection levees that flank the treacherous river and high enough to afford free clearance for ocean-going steamers and other heavy traffic. The resulting plans call for ap- proaches starting a mile and a half back from each side of the river and | span proper 3525 feet long—comparing | with Brooklyn Bridge's span length of 5 ¥ 1595 feet.
