THE HUDSON SUSPENSION BRIDGE.

COMPLETING THE PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENT
THK WORK TO DE DONE IN TWO AIRS.
Within the last few days rapid progress has been
made by Robert Sewe in the financial arrangements
connected with the construction of the proposed
bridge across The Hudson River at Peekskill This
enterprise is known the Hudson Suspension Bridge
and New England Railway Company The President
W. c Hurd was visited yesterday by a TRIBUNE
reporter at the office of the company. No. "a Nassau
st. He spoke unreservedy of the scheme. and said
that all the contracts would soon be made lie
represented the bidding active, but awards of
contracts have yet been made
On the side of the river the bridge company
will extend Its line from AnthOnys Nose along the
Conoque Greek northward to HopeweIl Junction and
there connect with The Dutcherss and Connecticut
Railroad, thereby reaching Millerton. where 1t will
connect with the Connecticut Western road. The
distance will be about twenty miles BY this link the
coal fields of Pennsylvania will be connected with all
points along the last-named road. The Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad and Coal Company is largely
interested n this line. owning large tract of land
in Putnam County Some notifications in the plans OF
the bridge originally conceived will PROBABLY be
made but these at present immatured. The
purpose il make the structure OF great security
IN order the better to facilitate the immense traffic that
it must inevitably attract TIE work of the engineers,
it IA claimed will be materially assisted by the
peculiar natural advantages of the location. So Tar
as the railroad connections concerned the profile
map shows that the grade mile will i'll no case
exceed sixty feet and it s believed that grade of not
more than fifty feet mile will eventually bs
secured. When the work Of construction is actually
begun it will be advanced with great rapidty.
Some of the contractors agree d TO accomplish the
labor within eighteen months but allowing for all
accidents the promoters of the enterprise believe that
within two years from the date Of entering upon the
work Of construction the bridge with all its connecting
links will be ready to accommodate all its connections
on botn sides of the river Under extension OF the
terms of the ct after the allowed for the com
