A NEW OUTLET FOR THE CITY.

EARLY PRoJECTS-DEsCRIPTIoN OF TIE PRO
POSED BRIDGE-ITS EFFECT ON THE VALUE
OF LONG ISLAND REAL ESTATE
Among the developments of art which are to
mark the Nineteenth century will be the bridging Of the
East River thereby giving continuous communication
with the valuable binding lands of Long Island. Early
the century Thomas Pope conceived the necessity for
bridge communication About 1910 he proposed to throw
bridge from the then upper part OF this city to Brook
lyn but while the plan attracted attention, it
deemed impracticabe, and after the publication Of
pamphlet by him in 1911 the subject dropped The
attention capitalists at last to have been at
traced TO the largo tracts Of land the East River
within sight Of the city, which should furnish homes for
thousands who are obliged to 1ud residences and
expend their means not only outside Of our limits
but in an adjoining State. The actual commence
ment OF the East River bridge gives promise that
we shall have continuous communication with Long
Island which will greatly facilitate the extension OF our
population within easy distance Of the city, and upon
own soil.
Another project Of equal importance is likely to be
carried into immediate execution by which the East

is probably not than $1,000 acre. but with the

River will be spanned at Blachwers Island The pro-
posed structure commencing in the vicinity OF Seventy
seyen-s and Secondave., will terminate about half
mile back from the Long Island Shore Ravenswood
This project has long been regarded the most feasible
nasmuch the engineering difficulties less; Black
wells Island giving the natural foundation for central
piers, and the high banks each side, combined with
rock foundations for the piers, presenting the
most favorable conditions for the building OF a
high bridge. Looking upon Long Island, from tho
vicinity Of Central Park it wonderful that the
beautiful. rolling healthy region which lies close to
the city should not have been connected with ii before
this by substantial bridge The difficulties Of the enter
PRISE like those Of the Pacific Railroad, will disappear
under the energetic efforts OF capitalists and engineers,
and what seems to be work Of great magnitude
will in its progress prove TO be very simple practical
undertaking Two plans have been discussed for this
bridgeone the ordinary SUSPENSION and the other new
one, proposed by Capt w. p. Trowbridge late OF the
