Federal Prosecutor John MrCourt, who ha been making a study of the statutes to determine whether civil ulu can be brought by either the Government or In dividuals aaalnst the county anthorttl" for delavlnsr nmli at the two local draws, said yesterday that be was not pre pared to make a repnrt at that time and that he Ukely would not be until some other Important taustneas which was demanding- his attention bad been dis posed of. Major Mclndo. before he left the city, said that he hoped to hare a rrport from the IXstrlct Attorney npon his return. He said he would guide his further ac tion according; to this report. Whether the War ra.prtront. through the local engineer, would Institute prose cutions against the county and Its em ployes la a matter that Major Mclndo said he coold not determine until he bad heard from the Enstrict Attorney's office. Civil Action Expected. It has been reported, however, that Individual vessel owners have been con sidering the advisability of brlnrlna- civil action acalnst those responsible for the 6laye. and they. too. are awaltlnc the report of Mr. MoCourt. ' But tha proposed civil cases are large.y dependent upon tha outcome of the crim inal proceedings which the War Depart ment t now ura-lnr tha rnetrlot Attorney to start. T.teea protests of vesselmen sre now In the prosecutor1 office, where Jhey will undergo Investigation to de termine whether tha alleged delays by reason of which th complainants seclc prosecution, warrant criminal proceedings. Thle Is another matter concerning which Major Mclndoe would like to have some Information. He has received orders from Washington to enforce the Govern ment regulations' on tha draws and he ays this is the easiest way of securing that enforcement. If this fall other methods will be attempted an Injunction or a mandamus If either Is permissible. River Traffic Need ReRulation. Since the closed draw periods have gone Into effect, the river men as well as the brldgetenders have been studylnc the vitiation to learn wherein the difficulty lies. It as h opinion of many of these tliat tha beat and most effective way to secure service satisfactory to persons passing over th brtd(t.s a well as thorw passing under them la to seek regulation of the river traffic Instead of the bridge traffic. Boats should ba classified rerrd!ng their nece-sity of passing up and down the river, say these quiet observers. There are certain kinds of boats, carrying certain kinds of cargoes, which can Illy afford to wait, even for a few minutes. It tha draws are closed against them. Other they say. are not hindered In tha performance of their duties) by delays of half an hour and they can see no rea son why the surface traffic should be held back while a vessel of this class goes through the draw. Brldgetenders declare that some boat men, seemlrgly. deliberately wait until the closed period goes Into effect, then stanal for the draw for the ostensible purpose of annoying the public using the brMgea They can point out several re cent Instances of this kind, they sny. and declare that such practices have to a Urge extent caused whatever difficulties) have arisen since tha first attempt at regulation was made, specinc instances of sucn action can bo pointed out they say. It baa been suggested that the river men go Into consultation on the subject and endeavor to regulate the movements) of thetr boata to conform, as far as pos sible, with surface transportation.

For th last two months a large fore of men bav been at work. First th abutment at both ends wer rein forced with concrete backing. 8ix piei. under th bridge, found to be weak, had to be reconstructed and this is now being done. New concrete floor beams are yet to toe laid at short in tervals from one end of the bridge to th other. For this purpose the pavement on the concrete floor of the bridg is being riven up. The new floor beams will next be put up. For these it is necessary to cut down through the pavement and con crete floor. The original cost of the bridge was about $76,000, and to this amount must be added the reconstruc tion, which may cost half as much more.
