Plans For Walnut St. Bridge to Go Before City and State Boards Plans for the proposed bridge across the Pennsylvania railrpad tracks at Walnut street, as prepared by J. E. Greiner and company, Baltimore, consulting engineers, were submitted to Council this morning by Commis sioner W. H. Lynch and were referred to the Planning Commission. If the city planners should pass favorably upon the proposition, then the plans must be referred to the Public Service commission of Pennsylvania. Two designs were submitted, one of which provides for the building of the west approach upon Walnut street in such a way as to leave as large a space as possible between the south side of the bridge and the buildings on the south side of the street; the other provides for the erection of the west ern approach entirely off the street and directly in the capitol park area. The structure is to be reinforced concrete except over the tracks where the girderß are to be of steel covered with concrete. The bridge as design ed will carry two lines of fifty-ton trolley cars and twenty-five ton trucks. The plans call for a 28-foot roadway, with 8-foot sidewalks. Safety bays are plans for each pier and seats are to be provided at these points. The lighting fixtures are designed for posts which can carry trolley wires. The bridge according to the first design would be 2,185 and for the second, 2,202 feet. By the first plan, estimated cost is $284,446.98, which, if the 10 per cent for engineering charges are added, would run the total to $312,891.97; the second plan calls for an estimated expenditure of $289,717.38 to which, if the 10 per for engineering charges be added, would cost $318,689.12 The city voted $300,000 for the job and If the work was completed by the city, engineer's department, the structure in Mr. Lynch's opinion could easily be erected within the appropriation.

SUSPEND MILITIA ORDER BECAUSE OF TROUBLE [Continued From First l'jige] which they might be called upon to preserve order throughout some of the States. There Is even the poss:- hllity that some of the troops in the event of a strike might be called upon to guard or operate mail trains and trains supplying the troops already on the border. The suspension or the orders pre vents the immediate movement of the troops from Kentucky, Ohio and Ver mont and the movement of all other mobilized units which were to have gone forward as soon as they were equipped. Some of the Kentucky Ohio and Vermont troops were about ready to go to the border. It is clear that the suspension is not a revocation of the orders and that if the railroad strike situation clears up the troops will be moved to the border line. The official explanation of the change at the War Department is that difficulties of transportation and equipment suddenly developed have made a delay necessary. It Is known, however, that the railway situation is the real cause. A telegram from Major General Fun ston made public by the War De partment disclosed that the General recommended the suspension of the orders. His telegram follows: "In view of a possibility of a gen eral railroad strike. I desire to call attention of the War Department to difficulties that will follow in main taining food supplies not only of troops in this department, but of the civilian population as well. These border States produce but little food stuff except cattle.
