w pOIITICS ~ THE BRIDGE.

II appcars that after the close of the hearing
IN reference to the new East River Bridge Dill
on Thursday ii was amended by the ASSEM-
blv committee in n way not at all 10 the liking
Of the authors OF the measure and certain 10
arou.e strong opposition on the part or nine
,euths Of the people Interested As originally
drawn. the bill provided for the appointment OF
,broo bridge commissioners 10y the Mayor or
New York and three by the Mayor of BROOKLYN.
and fine two Mayors were to be members OF the
commission ex -ofiicIO. As amended. IL provinces
that two commissioners shall be named by the
Mayor and Controller of this city, two by 'he
like officials Of Brooklyn and three by the Gov
crnor OF the state.
Every clear-sightcd and intelligent citizen will
at once perceive that this is plan to put the
control Of the proposed bridge In the hands OF
Plat and Worth on one hand and OF lammany
Hall on the other. 1t is grab, pure ana simple
Of the same nature as the scheme engineered
by Worth for scizing the Kings County Depart
mcnt of Charities. The plan assumes. of course,
that Platt has sufficient influence with the GOV
ernor to secure the appointment OF men accept
able 10 him; the Brooklyn Controller Is Worth
man ms absolutely rs the Sheriff and County
Clerk. on whom Worth relies to make him tharl-
ties Commissioner in case of the enactment OF
the pcndng Charities bill; and the New-lorh
Controller has shown no reluctance to take or
dcrs from Tammany Hall.
Surely this is not what the people of New York
and Brooklyn want They want another bridge
hut they do not want one with Il large political
attachment Furthermore, as this Is purely Il
matter affecting the cities. there Is no comedy
able reason why any commissioners should be
apponted by the head of the State Government
no reason. that is, that will bear examination
by honest and upright men The Tribune Is
heartily In favor Of another East River bridge;
of as many more ms are shown 10 be necessary
or desirable: but we do not want TO see the MS
tory of the present Brooklyn Bridge duplicated.
Give us an honest straightforward board OF
commissioners, who will build the bridge In the
same manner as If they were engaged In n pri-
vate enterprise, or let us have no bridge at all
