predominant chnractorlstlc of the
engineer Is tho rapidity and economy
with which ho executes his work, Mr.
Baker relates an Incident of the com
parative ability of American and
English onglneors In these, respects,
which Is as follows:
About Ave years ago a bridge was
needed by tho British government to
span a rapid stream far up the isJIle,
Bids wore asked from all tho fore
most nations and those submitted by
one .American company provided not
only for the- least outlay of money,
but for an unusually short delay in the
construction. English 'companies had
agreed to commence work In six
months-and complete the structure In
side of, one year, while the American
companies agreed to commence within
sixty days and complete the bridge in
four months. .
Continuing Mr. Baker says:
Much comment was caused among
the English manufacturers and many
inquiries were made as to the reasons
why tho Americans could 'so outdo
the English both in time and cost.
