THE PASSAGE or THE BRIDGE BILL

THE PASSAGE or THE BRIDGE BILL
1t is gratifying to record the passage of the
Brooklyn Bridge bill, although the section pro-
viding for the Brooklyn extension has been
omitted. At the last moment the members of
both houses acted upon the suggestion which
The TRIBUNE has repeatedly urged This was
plainly the only proper course TO pursue. If
the advocates of the Brooklyn scheme had in
sisted upon retaining the fifth section, nothing
could have saved the bill from defeat. And the
defeat of the highly important provisions for
reorganizing the Board of Trustees and for en-
larging the facilities ut the New-York terminus
would have been public calamity.
Governor Hill should not hesitate to sign the
bill as passed. 1t gives us, instead of twenty
trustees, board consisting of the Mayors and
Controllers of both cites-officers directly re-
sponsble to the people. Best of all, it gives us
the right to enlarge the New-York station, so
that trains twice as long as those now in use can
be run. With the increase in the carrying
capacity of the railway will come correspond
ing increase in travel; and we shall soon see the
Bridge accommodating the public demand in q

Governor Hill was much amused to-day by receiving
simultaneously written request for the appointment OF

by the same man. The gentleman who had signed the
papers recommending the appointment in his pr'
