the Pearson contract into two parts. The work west of the line was
placed under the immediate direction of George C. Clarke, M. Am. Soc.
C. E., as Resident Engineer, with Naughton Company and Arthur McMullen,
Contractors; Mr. Louis H. Barker was Resident Engineer of the part east
of the dividing line, with the Degnon Realty and Terminal Improvement
Company as the principal contractors. The substructures of the several

superstructures were carried out by various bridge companies, and other
minor features were executed by other contractors. More complete
descriptions of the plans and of the execution of the work will be given
by the Resident Engineers.
