the use of electricity on the Bridge for the shli'

Bridge because Of any deterioration OF the cdoies
or the structure Of the Bridge itself: Ihere Is
no reason whatever for any apprehension thae
the Bridge structure may be weakened by elec-
troysis the steel used in the construction OF
the Bridge The fact IS that the wires supplying
the current for the propulsion Of these cars are
completely insulated and the current returns
through the rails, which are also thoroughly IN
sulatcl. There IS no reason whatever TO rear any
damage to the Bridge structure through cleo
trolysis; the Bridge cables themselves are laIse
enough to carry all the electric currents ina.
may be generated in this city or Ncw-loTK. All
we would have to do would be to ground any
such current, and that would be very easy
matter.
Even If this We're not deemed advisable we
could lay a return wire It very little cost Az

result from the use Of electricity"
