Mr.. Martin 10 already fully committed to plan
which tho trustees adopted on his recon-
III nendation. In opposition to the unanimous
judgment OF a Board Of Experts who exam
lned the whole question.
Mr.. JohnSon's proposition is eminently fair
and In Q cry respect an admirable one. All 7
public and private interests would be safe in .
the hands OF q Board thus constituted. II .
such 3 Board decides that the bridge should
90 TO TilRry street, or that land Is necessary
as far as that limit for storage purposes. that
should settle II. The interests OF the few
property owners immeda els affected should
have hardly o feathers weight in the balance
with tho greater consideration OF public safety
and prosperity.
Tho co!apromise measure, now offered by
the Board Of Trustees should not be adopted .
by the Legislature. 1t is neither ono thing nor
another. Il merely makes more apparent than
ever The necessity for abulishinR tho present
system OF bridge manaRemsnt. The trustees |
must go!
