HOW TO AVOID TROUBLE WITH THE STEPS.
TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: | read your editorial on the Brdge
Defects with much satisfaction this morning -Four or
i've days ago spoke the officer near one OF the lights
Of eps strongly condemning the narrowness and steep
meas Of those distinctions to travel or that is what
they arc) and moment after spoke slipped and did
NOT recover myself till had passed over two steps,
somewhat spraiDing my ankle. Now, 1t may be impos
sbe away with these encumbrances altogether rs
the Bridge stands. but they should he reduced to min
fmu OF discomfort at least This could be done thus
Have the flight extended and the steps made lower ana
much WIDER so that panic would not necessarily
prove disastrous IL would be comparatively easy 10
run rapidly down up fight so constructed. rms
change could be easily made and then tue centre ran
would not be needed 10 ada another OBSTRUCTION 10
travel.
As things stand the footpath is a lnmentable
parody the te given to tue Bridge by Its projectors
A means of easy and rapid communication between
the cities. and not place to inger etc. etc sti
after all. the steps must eventually come away alter
this accident no will approach the steps without
feeling nalneless dread Respectfully yours
JAMES A. SHEARMAS.
