BRIDGE BILLS.
foremost in Importance of the numerous
bridge bills which became laws was the
act authorizing the New York and New
Jersey Bridge Company to- bridge the Hud-
son between New Yory city and New Jer-

vetoed by President Cleveland because il
permitted the sinking of a pier in the
river, which commercial and shipping
bodies which opposed it declared would ID
a great obstruction to navigation Al
amended, the bill finally met the sanction
OF the president and signed, which pros
Vlded that the bridge shall be a span and
elevation, which the secretary of war shall
approve and require, leaving the recommen.
cations to board of disinterested engine
GERS to be appointed by the president. This
structure, which will be only second to
the Brooklyn bridge if completed must be
