Bridge to Cost $17,000,000 The bridge was being construct ed at a cost of 17.0 00,0 00 in order to shorten the railway journey from Halifax to the Canadian northwest by 200 miles. The bridge stands on the stile of the structure which- collapsed on August 29. 1907, "with a loss of sev- enty lives. The cenlral span which foil today.

The fallen structure sank 200 feet to the bottom of the river and engineers who witnessed the collapse expressed doubts as to whether it would ever be trough up again. Span Broke in Two Pieces Observers stid that the span broke in two places first one of the corners appeared to give way, this being followed almost imme diately by a break in the center. The span had been constructed on pontoons a few miles east of the bridge site and was towed into position immediately under the gap left in the anchor arms of the struc ture. Chain with links thirty inches in diameter together with girders, were then attached to the span, and ton hydraulic' jacks com menced the stupendous task of lifting the span into place. This work could be accomplished only a few "feet an hour, and as the distance from the river level to the floor of the bridge is.

150 feet, the engineers had not counted on completing the operation until the end of this week or later. The bridge was to have been ready for train ser vice next spring. Thousand Saw ffie Catastrophe The juggling of 5,000 tons of steel under unprecedented circumstances in' the Dominion attracted to the scene; today several thousand spectators, including members of parliament and newspaper men gathered on vessels furnished by the Ca-iiadian government. Members of the Dominion cabinet witnessed the col lapse from the deck of. a government vessel, While 'American tourists crowded hundreds of other boats of all classes.

Eminent American' authorities on bridge building and mem bers of the Am.ralian parliament returning -home after visiting in Europe also were at the scene" and river traffic for ocean going steamships had been temporarily suspended. The project interrupted today originated in 1853, when at the request of the Quebec city council a New York engineer submitted plans and estimates. Courage and capital were lacking, however, and it was not until 1882 that the scheme again was given serious consideration. Later Canadian engineers Utain-cd a charter and after many of rt-luy the building wns only to terminate in the roilnpse of (he unfinished structure in lt07. Canada federal railway depart ment then decided to reconstruct it.

and placed the undertaking in the hands -of a commission which includ ed several noted American bridge builders, among them Ralph Mod-jesky, of Chicago, and C. C. Schneider, of New York. The plans for the bridge provided for a channel span longer than that of any existing today anywhere. Its contemplated length from shore bo shore was 3,239 feet, with a distance of 1,800 feet between anchor buttresses.

Provision was made for two railroad tracks, two street car tracks and two roads. It was to be used by the following railroads: Canadian Pacific, Grank TrunkQuebec Central, Intercolonial, Quebec and Lake St. John, Quebec and San-guenay, Canadian Northern and Del aware and Hudson.
