To Start Soon The company in its letter to Coun cil sent by the attorney for the rail road announces construction work will start as soon as the necessary approval is received from the gov ernment. The new bridgo will start at the shore connecting with the eastern end of the present struc ture where double tracks are now in use.

TO ELIMINATE DANGER CURVE AT VIADUCT Hill Improvements to Include Paving of Derry Street to Sylvan Terrace J One of the most Important busl ■ ness district improvements in recent , years may be stnrtcd within the next | few months at Fourth and Chestnut j streets, according to pla'hs which i have been prepared by City Engineer M ; Cowden, in connection with the widening of street at the approach of the Mulberry street bridge. Several months ago when the own er of the property at the southwest I corner decided to erect a large build ing for stores and a garage, a large t strip of ground 27 feet in width and mors than 100 feet in length was of fered to the city in exchange for clos ing small alleys which were seldom used. Council and the City Planning Com mission approved tae plans and build ing operations were started at once. Recently the railing and posts on the west side of the .bridge at Fourth street were removed when the concrete pavement to the building was completed. As soon a-s the other construction work is advanced far enough, the city's plans for widen ing the street. Chestnut street from Fourth street to a point 105 feet west, will be started. According to city officials this will eliminate the dangerous curve allowing a wide radius corner and will help to better traffic conditions at the approach to the bridge. Another improvement planned by the city highway department is the paving of Derry street from Cameron street to Sylvan Terrace. Bricks and curbing for this work have been re moved from the Capitol Park exten sion zone, and as soon as other re pair work on city streets is com pleted the paving will be started. Highway department gangs at pres ent are repairing paving in Reily and Sixth streets. Men of Liggett's New Corps in Big Battle Washington, July 16.
