THE OMAHA DAILY BEE SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1894. PAVING OF ROADS RESUMED | Tounty Commissioners Determined to Make the fdost of a Bad Job. THEY OFDER THAT THE WORK PROCEED Flope that 1 cess Will Be Had with Clay as & Binder win Tomorrow. tter 8 Laying of the Stone Be Commenced macadam was resumed The work of laying th pave- mment on west Dodge street pesterday, the contractors, Van Court & Co., having agreed to work in strict fordanco with the terms of the specifications n the completion of the road, thus leaving the county to dssume the responsibility in the event that a satisfactory pavement fot be secured This means thit the first ac- layer of broken stone will be put into the trench, pounded down and then pressed into place by the fer-ton roller. After this has been done the next step will be to put on the bindar of clay and then another cot broken #tcne, rolling this into place and then cover- ing the whole with a top dressing of stone chippings. The same plan of building was fn progress at the time when the commis- sloners stobped the work, with the exception that at that time screened gravel was being for a binder, which was one of the terfals provided for in the specification M'Len the commissioners stopped the pay everything was very unsatisfactory, owing 1o the fact that the loose gravel, which was between the two layers of bro Tolled until it was as solid as rolled about like a lot of dried sack. At that time the contractors wantod to uso the clay binder, but the commis- sioners objected, maintaining that the t fayer of stone would crush through and leave the whole of the wearing surface a mass of mud, especially during and after a raln. Havinz revolved the whole subject 1p thelr minds the commissioners have come o the conclusion that the specifications are 80 faulty that the pavement cannot be made satisfactory it gravel is used for a binder, and, as a last resort, they have concluded o allow the clay to go Into the work One of the commissioners, in discus:ing the matter yesterday, said that in his opinion a good pavement could never be se- oured even if the specifications were fol- lowed to the letter. In view of this and in view of the fact that the contractors had bid upon faulty specifications, the best way out of a bad job was to go on and finish up the road in some way and get the mat- ter out of the way. He said it looked to him {ike a squandering of the $50,000 ap- portioned for the Dodge street road, and not only this, but the road fund would be pauperized for all time to come in keeping the pavement in repalr. With the clay for a binder he said that the wheels of foaded wagons would be continually cut- ting ;through the wearing surface, filling it Wit ‘ruts and leaving it in an uneven con- @ition, necessitatiog the keeping of work- men on the road almost every day in the year s0 long as there was any of the pave- mont left. W@he. work of laying the stone pavement on Military avenue has not yet heen com- menced, but the materfal is all on the ground, and next Monday Hugh Murphy, the contractor, will begin o ons. The pavement will' begin at the city limits-and will continue in a northwesterly direction for a distance of two and three-eights miles 1 a point about midway between Coal Creek and Mount Hope cemctery. This pavement will be sixteen feet wide and will be in phe center of the road Owing to this fact the Benson people have been com- peiled” o puil up their street car tracks and will not put. them down until the laying of the pavement is completed. When the ralls are relald they will be two fest to the sotth of the paving, the space between the rafls.and the pavement, a distance of two feet, swill be filled with coal tinders, orushed and rolled into the space, thus giv- ing a paved driveway which' will be eighteen feet wide.

At a meeting of the Building Trades council held last Thursday evening the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, The time is fast approaching when the mémbers of the school board will meet for the purpose of elscting certain officers, among which the most important is_the superintendeht of buildings; and Whereas, We understand that the pre: ent fncumvent, MrSamuel Macleod, 1s again a candidhte for=said position; and Whereas, The said Samuel Macleod he proved himself to be totally‘unable and in- competent to fill safd position, as numerous cases may be cited to {llustrate, chief among which may be mentioned the time about a vear ago when Sam and his in- competent scab bricklayers dug a hole under the partition wall of the Cass street school to make room for a boiler and for- ot to brace the walls, the result of which was a collapse of two floors of said building, which at certain times might have re- sulted in a terrible 1gss of lives; and Whereas, The said Samuel Macleod, in connection with his own incapabllity, has always preferred to hire a lot of incom petent scabs, instead of employing com- petent union men, which in itself is in- excusable, unless there may be some money in it for S8am; therefore be it Resolved, By this Building Trades council, composed of representatives of all the build. ing trades in this city, that we condemn the action and nefarious workings of the said Samuél Macleod: and Resolved, That we hereby enter our most earne: protest against th re-clection of the sa Macleod to fill the office of super- Intendent of bufldings; and be it furthef Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be given to the public press for publication and a copy be sent to ti school board at its next meeting, with the request that it relegate the said Macleod to the rear and let some competent and capable man that \:\'xll be a V“”ll (;, u;». eity xlm the position as superintendent of school bulldings in the city of Omaha. 6810 will meet at the morning at 10 -fourth Dawso1 Churchill.

LONDO'S NEW TOWER BRIDGE Oompletion of the Great Highway Over the River Thames. OPENED TODAY BY THE PRINCE OF WALES Formal Ceremony Marking th of One More Great Engineering Feat —Th t to Seo Procession. ands of Englishmen the Royal LONDON bridge prince of Wale June 30.—The great Tower formally opened today by the in the name of the queen. The weather was blazing hot and the scene was a magnificent ome. Tens of thousands of persons lined the route of the royal procession. The ceremony took place at noon At 11 o'clock the royal proces- sion, consisting of five state carrisges and left Marlborough house for the bridge, which left Mariborough house for the bridge which spans the Thames a short distance below London bridge, from a spot adjoining the tower of London on the Middlesex shore to Bermondsey on the Surrey side. In the first three carriages were the mem- bers of the household of the prince of Wales and the duke of York. In the last two carriages were the prince and princess of Wales, the duke of York and the Princesses Victorla and Maud of Wales. The royal carriuges proceeded through Pali Mall to trand, through that thoroughfare to street, Ludgate Hill and Cheapside the Mansion house the royal party was received by Lord Mayor Tyler and the sheriffs of London, and at the new bridge the prince of Wales and his family were received by the duke and duche:s of Saxe- Ccburg Gotha, the duke and duchess of Connaught, Prince and Princess Henry of Battenberg, and by the duke snd duchess of Teck and other notabilities. A special enclosure to the left of the royal dais was reserved for the diplomatic corps, mong whom were the United States ambassador and Mrs. ‘Bayard. From Temple Bar, where the Strand ends and Fleet street beging, to the Tower bridge the streets were lined with cavalry and infantry, and at the bridge itself the guard of honor was composed of blue jackets, the honorable artillery company, "the rifle brigade and detachments of volunteers. GUARDING THE ROYAL FAMILY. Extraordinary precautions were taken to guard the royal family. Every detective and policeman in the metropolis who could be spared from regular duty was stationed at some point along the route of the pro- cession or else about the bridge. On reaching the northern approach to the bridge the royal party were received by the lord mayor and the high civic officials, all in full robes, and were conducted to their places on the bridge. The ceremony of de- claring the bridge open was performed by the prince of Wales, who, by means of an electric button, opened the enormous bascules which have been built 50 as to allow vessels to pass underneath. A flourish of trumpets, the thundering of guns from”the Tower, loud and enthusiastic cheering from the crowds and the shrieking and hooting of the whistles of the launches and steamers on the river announced the completion of the work. The bishop of Lon- don, wearing his robes and hood, then pro- nounced the benediction and the officials con- neoted with the constryotion of the bridge were received by the prince in behalf of the queen. The massed bands played the Na- tional anthem, and two steamers, decked with bunting, passed through the bridge amid tremendous cheering. Leaying the bridge, the royal party’ pro- ceeded to the Tower, and after inspecting the beefeaters embarked on the steamer Palm, and escorted by the queen’s water men Te- turned to Westminster and were from there driven in carriages to Marlborough house. The bridge is near the famous old tower of London, and connects Bermondsey; Wal- worth, Camberwell and Peckham, on the south bank of the Thames, with the western part of the old city, on the north bank. According to the lord mayor of London, the bridge has cost the corporation over £1,000,000. The bridge was begun in 1856, From 500 to 800 men have since been con stantly employed upon it. Seven men have been killed since its construction was begun. The bridge, with approaches, is half a mile long. The high-level spans are 142 feet above high water; the short spans are 270 feet, the middle one 200 feet long. The bascules weigh eighty tons each; the lead ballast on the “short leg” weighs 290 tons. About 2,000,000 rivets Laye been used in tho corstruction of the bridge. The bridge was designed by the architect, the late Sir Horace Jones, who had essociated with him Mf. J. Wolfer Barry, who has been engineer to the under tuking, and it 1as been built for the corpora- tion of London under the direction of the Bridge House Estates committee. It con- sists of three spans. The roadway Is & lifting bridge on the bascule priuciple; that is to say, the two leaves rise in a vertjcal direction and _are counterpoised on their inner ends. The opening betieen the piers is 200 feet. The leaves of the bascule ar roaaway bridge are to be moved by hydraulic machinery placed in suitable chambets in the piers. The center of the pivot is 13 feét 3 inches fnside the face of the pler. The total length of each lifting part from the conter of the pivot to the end is 113 feet 3 irctes. The short end is 49 feet 3 inches and the balancing is by kentledge. MASONRY SURROUNDS THE STEEL. The steel skeleton of the bridge towers is encased in masonry that it may harmon- ize, so far as possible, with the neighbor- ing Tower of London. ~For foot passengers the two towers are connected at the top by two fixed length of each of these spans is nd con:ists of two levers and a center girder. The height of the columns of the towers is 119 feet & inches. There are three landings to each wer, the floors being of steel. The ap- proaches to the piers are on the suspen- principle, each chain being in two segments of unequal length. Therc are two hydraulic passenger elevators, or “lifts, as our English cousins call them, in each tower in_addition to staircases. The ties forming the vertical wind bracing have been put in such a manner that when the bridge is fully loaded with its dead weight all over each tle has an initial strain corre- sponding to three and a half tons per square inch of section. The weight of the opening roadway, added to that of the high level footway and the towers supporting them, renders the load upon the foundation unususlly heavy for a bridge of sueh moderate span. The founda- tions are carried down to the London cl which forms the bottom of the bed of the river at this point, with a slight layer of gravel or river mud above it As it was determined to limit the load to the very moderate amount of four tons per superfi- cial foot, the dimensions of the founda- tions work ot to 100 feet in width and 204, feet from end to end of the cut- aters. S8ir Benjamin Baker has rald that ho does not know of any other bridge foundations with such dimensions as those of the Tower bridge, except in the case of the Brooklyn bridge. The two main founda- tions in the latter bridge support a roadway of 1606 feet span, or about the same as that of the Tower bridge. In sinking the foundations for piers, eight rectangular iron caissons were used for each pler, timber cofferdams being specially for- bidden by act of Parliament. These caissons were twenty-eight feet square. There were also in each pier four caissons of an approx- imately triangular shape. These caissons were bulilt in position, and are mainly per- manent below the river bed, into which they extend nienteen feet, so as to reach the Lon- don clay. This clay was undercut below the cutting edge of the calsson when the latter bad reached its lowest position for a vertical distance of seven feet and five feet outward from the face of the caisson. This gave a depth of foundation of twenty-six feet ba- low the bed of the river. These foundations are of cement concrete, slx to one, exc:pt the top two feet, which 18 of gault brick work. These caissons above the bed of the river were removed when the masonry was bullt up to the level of 116 feet 6 inches, or four feet above high water. Each pler contains two aceumulator cham- bers, a bascule chamber and two machinery chambers. The bascule chamber Is a recess into which the short arm of the lifting bridge sinks. It goes to nine feet of the bed of the river. The finished dtmensions of each pier are seventy feet wide by 154 fu was city long from point to polt at a central line at the water level At foundations they are each 204 feet § Inches ffom toe to toe by 100 foet wide.

Marshal White was busily engaged in paying off the deputies Who have been out to Sidney guarding the Wealers yesterday. There 1s a good deal of kicking from some of the men, who iried to collect nine days’ pay for four days' work, on the ground that théy had not been discharged, but the mar- shal would net allow the claims and paid them for what they actually did. Frank Beach, one of the special deputies who was_hired by the:Unlted States mar- shal to go out to Julesburg, Big Springs and Ogallala for the purpose of suppressing the Commonwealers, says that he has a kick coming about the way they were treated agd paid. He says that they were offered $8 per day and expenses as an inducement to go. Part of them wére sent back to Omaha after being in service for the greater portion of five days, They were told to re- port to the marghal's office each day, but they found po-gne who could discharge them or to Whom they could report. They re- ported every day for morg thah a week before they were relleved from dyty. Since the return of the marshal he hAs been making out their pay at the rate of $3.95 per day, charging them $1.05 per day for board. Beach alleges that sometimes they only gmot & sandwich for a meal, and that they could have boarded themselves for half the money Those who claim to have served a fraction of five days were allowed $15.40 for their trip. They accepted this amount under pro- test, but it is probably all they will ever receive of them are democrats, and they pre to get even when the first election day rolls around Ride the switehback at Courtland Beach. i il Kuights of Labor Oficers, At a regular meeting of Knights of Labor assembly, No. 5,141, held Friday night the new officers for the term beginning July 1 were clected, which resulted in the selection of the following named gentlemen E 1 Thomas, master workman; B. R. Overall, worthy foreman: Charles Cohen, recording secretary; H, Henry, -financial _ secretary; Herman Cohen, treasurer; W. F. Erdman, statisticlan; Jesse H. Blake, almoner; G. W Kinney, delegate to the Central Labor union; E. I Thomas and Albert Miller were chosen as delegates to the District assembly; James M. Taylor, Charles Stickney and J. L. Rad- kin were elected trustems . James M. Taylor was also chosen as judge of the court, D, Clem Deaver judge admocate, and Charles Cohen, clerk of the cowrt. Besides electing officers the assembly tragsacted considerable business and discussed the Coxey movement at some length, Thé members denounced the action of all the fifén who left Omaha to act as deputies iFfng the trouble at Sidney, and it s quitésprobable that all the men who belonged to Jabor organizations that went to Sidney as geputies will be given a trial to establish a precedent against such action. However, there”are many in the or- ganizations who claim ‘that the organized workers have a perfectasight to go out when the government calls, and claim that it is no disgrace to serve the government.
