These crossgirders distribute the load to heavy longitudinalgirders of very novel construction; as shown at sec-tion X-X, these longitudinal girders are 18 ins. x 39^ins. high at bottom side of floor, although in realitythey may be said to be ins. high, including the thickness of the floor which is built in with the beamto form a monolithic structure. There are four ofthese heavy longitudinal girders spanning between col-umns. This is an example of probably one of the. September 3, 1904.] STREET RAILWAY JOURNAL. 3i5
