THE AQUEpUcT BRIDGE.
Commissioners Considering Fer.
init for Laying Tracks on 1t.

unit for Laying Tracks on W.
The Commissioners yesterday denied the
statement made in an afternoon paper 70
the effect that they had recommended 10
Congress that permission be given for the
use of the Aqueduct Bridge for railroad
purposes. They have the matter under
consideration and are disposed to look upon
it very favorably, but as yet have come
to no determination.
The plan as proposed provides, among
other things, for an enlargement of tie
bridge by the building of footways on
either side, the expense thereof to be borne
by the railroad com pany using the bridge.
The bridge will be further divided and
the railroad tracks, which will occupy the
western portion, win he fenced off ffO.n
the carriageway Provision will be made in
the bill for the condemnation of certain
property on NJ street imme diately to the
west of the present entrance Of the bridge
for the use OF the railroad company, it
having been found inexpedient TO allow the
railroad to cross the street to secure en-
trance tc the union station.
Another feature of the proposed billis that
which permits the use of the overhead
trolley The Commissioners 10 not believe
that any other construction on the bridge
would be applicable Without en.ailing
very large expense.
1t will be recalled that the Commiss ioners
last year were DESTROYS of utilizing the
bridge for railroad purposes, and their
scheme contemplated the crossing Of M
street aud the use of the union station by
the railroad. This, however, has been con-
sideTed NJ, feasible, and the plan above set
forth win be the one followed.
