THE PROPOSED HUDSON hIVER BRIDGE.

LAND BOUGHT FOR THE NEw-JERsEY PIER
GROUND TO BE BROKEN NEXT THURSDAY.
Charles II. Swan, secretary of the New-York and
company had made the first purchase OF land for the
Jersey pier Of the big suspension bridge which Is TO
be built the North River, and that ground would
be broken next Thursday at noon. Mr.. Swan did not
know who had owned the land previous to the purchase
but said that 1t about the size Of city block 1t
was just below Gutenburg and almost directly opposite
seventeth-st. NewYork. at which point the tower
this side the river will be built. The land he sald
ran back from the river 5O0 feet and 1t faced Bergen
Line Road, the thorouyhfare which is being built
OIL the Palisades.
The company had made the first purchase in New
Jersey because tbs property owners the New-York
side of the river had raised the price OF their land
to such high figure that the company intended to
ask at the Special Term of the Supreme Court that
a commission be appointed to begin condemnation
proceedings The checks for the transfer of the
property had been signed on Thursday.
Andrew ii. Green. who was appointed by the Legis
tature last year chairman OF the State committee. will
break the ground in the presence OF large number
of spectators The company expected to invite Mayor
Grant the Mayor of Hoboken and number of nOabIes
to be present.
One of the main features of the proposed terminal
of the new bridge which Is 10 be IN Bruadwar from
Thirty eighth to Fortieth is to have room 1900
feet long by 400 feet wide, into which the mail
will be run, and then to have
the mail distributed through pneumatic tubes TO the
sub-statons. This would be a great saving OF time
and would do away with the slow and clumsy method
Of distribution by wagons, now in use. Mr.. swan said
last night that he wrote to Postmaster General Wana
maker and fully explained the advantages and feai-
bility OF the scheme. He received answer about a
month ago. in which the Postmaster General said that
the scheme was practical one. week ago letter
from the Post Office Department asking Mr..
TO send plans of the project to Mr.. Wanamaker
Mr. swan at once Informed the chief engineer Of the
bridge, Thomas c. Clark who is now preparing
plans which will be sent to the Postmaster Genera in
