terminal arrangements upon the present plan OF
switching the cars. with such changes as may be
deemed necessary for adding terminal loops when
needed. II will be comparatively easy to make the
alterations without interfering with the present use OF
the Bridge.
It is also probable that before the capacity OF the
Bridge railroad under the proposed enlargement Is
reached that another bridge from the foot Of Broadway
TO Cirand.st. NewY0rk. will divert large part Of
thc travel from the Eastern District and upper wards
away from the present structure. The improvements
projected in The ferry system controlled by the Union
company, and the proposed CARVING OF passengers
and tho Wallst ferry TO New-York for single fare OF
cents will be sure to take considerable travel from
tho Bridge
After the Board Of Experts has finished its work it
will be- necessary the Bridge trustees TO act upon
the recommendations made Il will then take several
months 10 draw plans and secure bids for the work:
and II likely that the best part Of another year VIII
pass before any adequate improvement In the handling
Of passengers will be begun. and II will take year to

platforms and building new starways all that can
DO hoped for until 902 at least.
