EAST RIVER BRIDGE APPROACHES.
THE COMMISSION GIVES HEARING AT
WHICH MOST OF THE ARGUMENTS
FAVOR THE GRAND-ST SITE.

FAVOR THE GRAND-ST. SITE.
The East River Bridge Commission gave public
hearing the Mayors office yesterday on the pro-
posed approach in this city for the new East River
Bridge. OF the half-dozen more speakers who ap-
peared, OF them urged the selection OF the
Grand-st approach The bridge will enter the city
at Deiancey-st and Of the two plans thus far con-
sidered one proposes that shall extend due west TO
Clinton-st and the other PMtst then TO be turned
south to Grand-st. Mayor Strong. Commissioner
Salem II. Wales and President Andrew ID. Baird
favor the Cnton-st. approach; the other Commits
sioners the Grand-st. site.
The first speaker of the day was A. Stern. who ap-
peared for property-holders around Grand-st. He
said that fly the approach at Clinton-st would be
most unwise. the only approach 10 the Drldge
would be through Delancey-st a narrow forty-foot
thoroughfare Grand-st. on the other hand. he said
was a commercial artery and wide street easily
reached by horse-car lines. If the Clnton-st. APP
proach selected the speaker said that Delaney
St would have to be wldened at least 100 feet and
property valued at between six and seven million
dollars would have 10 be condemned
Henry 4 Robinson, as counsel for the Metropolitan
Traction Company, said that the Grand-st approach
was admirable, because Of the great facility 1t would
give OF reaching the bridge by the various roads
were chosen, the only railroad reaching the bridge
ne said. would be the sngle-track line running
Benjamin Stern said that he had done business for
many years In Grand-st ana Favored II as an ap-
proach the bridge because 1t was one OF the city
arteries. Soloman Bernstein, Bernard Downing,
Joseph l.. O. Brien and Samuel Slomer spoke also in
favor OF the Grand-s site.
Despite this decided feeling on the part or the
for the selection Of Grands 1t Is
expected that the Clinton-st. approach Will be Sc
lected, the Mayor having expressed such prefer,
ence, urging that Delancey-st. should be widened
over hundred feet. II this Is done a good ap-
proach would be had from the Bowery
The Commissioners held an executive session after
the hearing and informally discussed the question
No action taken. however. The Commission
