will take about 18 months to demolish the bridge and to build its suc cessor will probably occupy about five yeart the present bridge which became unsafe nine years ago has at last been sentenced to demolition by the london county council jfor nine years too the fate of the bridge has involved a prolonged wrangle amongst every authority directly or in directly concerned with it those in terested in the preservation of londons historic featuresnaye argued that water loo bridge coujd be saved others have asserted that the bridge has no par ticular merits from the aesthetic view point and that its historic associations are negligible the bridge has no direct association with the victory of waterloo it appears to have derived its name merely from ihe fact that the first duke of wellington attended the opening cere mony another body of opinion hold very strongly that the site of waterloo bridge is not the proper one in which to place a new and ambitious avenue for traffic across the thames the real position for such they say is at charing cross elaborate plans for a bridge at this point were actually produced but the late lab qo refin to suh- some pf the weak spots in finishing beef steers there is a great deal of interest these days in the feeding and finishing of beef steers on the farms of eastern canada conditions in eastern canada are quite different from those generally met with the west tout western farmers will also be- interested in the six points listed below which bring attention to what may appropriately be termed some of the weak spots in winter feed- tag of beef cattle studies of the winter feeding of beef cattle made by the experimental farms branch of the dominion department of agriculture show that there are certain points which should receive at tention these are i that a relatively small percentage of animals- is marketed between decern- ber and aprir inclusive z the- j finished animals always demand a premium and particularly dur ing the above mentioned- months 3l that owing toit poor breeding popt ralsingr- or lack of finish possibly a combination of all three a large per centage of steers marketed do not make tike grade that holds the trade and com mands the top price 4 that the canadian public dlscrlm- lnates against frozen beef which means that were the markets kept supplied with fresh beef more regularly better prices would obtain 5 that a relatively small percentage sldize the scheme the- plan which has now been adopted for a new and wider bridge at waterloo- the revival of an earlier scheme sir gilbert scott archi tect of liverpool cathedral is to design a new waterloo bridge capable of carry ing six lines of road traffic what is thi use though declare the critics of pro viding a bridge for six traffic lines when it is certain the bottleneck at either end will prevent such traffic from getting either on or off the bridge the famous waterloo bridge across the thames london connects welling ton street strand and lambeth it wa designed by george dodd and was built by a company the engineer being john rennie the first stone of the venerable struc ture was laid on october 11 1811 and the bridge was opened on june 18 1817 the anniversary of the tattle of water loo it is constructed of granite and con sists of nine elliptical arches the road way on which is level with that of the strand and is carried by a gentle decliv ity on brick arcbes jto the level of the roads near the surrey theatre its total length is 2456 feet of which the bridge and abutments cover 1380 feet the strand approach 310 feet the surreyside causeway 766 feet the arches over the river are 35 feet high and 120 feet span supported on piers 20 feet wide at the springing of the arches the reconstruction of the bridge was begun in 1925 as in 1924 structural defects in the arches had appeared a temporary bridge was erected at tha f time alongside for pedestrian traffic of steers which are at present classed as export steers are suffiplently well flash ed for the trade hence proper winter feeding of such steers would seem ad visable and profitable 6 that we have not made sufficient use of the beef bullock as
