M. and when it was resumed at 7 A. M. the new span was in place. ‘The turning of the tide between that time had served to raise and float away the old section while the new section floated into place, and with the dropping of tide came down upon its permanent supports, where it was riveted, The third tracking of the elevated Unes has made necessary a hi jer structure across the fiver and the span placed to-day was the first of the three in the new bridge, Two more operations of a similar ‘|nature will be required for the com- pletion of the work and If to-day’s record is maintained the entire new bridge, a six steel, double deck struc- ture, will have been placed in position with but fifteen hours suspension of traMec, a record bréaking feat.
