So far rs the East River is concerned, stand
ard of height for bridges has been fixed by the
Xcw-York and Brooklyn Bridge which has
SWING between its lofty towers for more tihh

tirn to determine whether or not 1t Is an obstruc-
tion to navigation. The practically universal
testimony is that it is not. 1t Is true that there
are II few vessels with masts so tall mat II IS
necessary for them to house their topmas's IN
nossng under this bridge, and occasionally II
happens that the upper works OF a vesscl are
carried away by contact with the bridge because
proper precautions have not been taken. Ihe
number OF such accidents in 1879 was three, ana
in the previous year only two. Even these things
ought to be avoided, If it were possible. III the
height Of the present bridge were now being
fixed II light be agreed TINT 1t ought to be more
than 49, feet But when the question was I'M
der consideration, twenty or twenty-five years
ago II was agreed that that would be sufiiclent;
and on the basis Of common sense 1t would seem
that 49, feet above high water ought to be Il
sufficient height for all bridges hereafter To be
built II Il vessel Is compelled TO lower its top"
mast TO pass under the existing bridge, 1t will
be no hardship for 1t TO maintain that condition
while passing beneath other bridges between
Ncw-York and Brooklyn. There may be some
thing In the contention that the currents near
Corlears Hook are more violent and trcachcrous
than In the vicinity Of Fulton Ferry, but nothing
has yet been brought forward to show that an
increased height for the new bridge Is required.
