CONCERNING ARMOR PLATE
A CORRECTION OF A RECENT STATEMENT
IN THE TRIBUNE

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: When any one makes misstatement or one
that Is misleading do not like It, but when n
friend OF mine makes a msstatement or one that
is misleading it troubles more. and 1 some
times. the boys say. go for them Now l am
sorry say. have to go for you.
In to-day's Tribune you state that the Govern
ment has made net saving OF 100000 in a $40
0C0 coo contract.
This statement is grossly misleading doing in
justice to the facts in the and to the Car
negIe and Bethlehem companies in that it appar-
emily states that these people have contracted
for armor plate price 100000 less than they
asked in August, when many Congressmen and
others will say. by inference, that they then
charged $3.OC0OOO too much. is shown by tha
prices they accept.
You state that the bids submitted August 10 were
follows:
,ons Gass a $50 on maRHs Hs co., and ove $1,000
Class B-Harveyized (under FIVE inches). 1900 tons
$411 20 a ton. making 3d. l25l20.
Class C-Not hardened. $500 tors at s4OO a ton,
Bolts and nuts 1900 tons at 500 ton. making
Total. $2O.l2512O,
You state that that agreed upon Is as fol-
lows:
Class A-Kruppized (over five inches thick). "a $50
tons at 1855 50 ton. making su,aH,22l.
1928 tons at s . tom E isSaes n'
Class CNot hardened. 1910 tons at 500 ton
Total sS.iS024
In each OF these cases there Is an error IN the
amounts of money Thus, the four items of las.

following sums:

SUGGESTIONS FOR \ BRIDGE APPROACH.
ART AND UTILITY AS SUBSTITUTES FOR
THE PRESENT STRUCTURE

To the Editor of The Tribune
SIR: The article in your paper yesterday headed
Remedy for Old Disgrace" revlves thought
regarding the approach the BROOKLYN Bridge
and the elevated railroad station 1T the City Hall
expressed in few words. which YOU kindly print
ed in The Tribune Of December % 1896. with the
heading An Ideal Bridge Approach"
The oil Hall of Records still occupies the ground
that would be required for developing plan sug-
gesed in the article referred to- there is reason
TO hope that 1t will be removed in near future
ana that something worthy will then be done with
that kew TO situation that VIII unlock d. aily' com
fort for the muitudes who the park from
Broadway TO the elevated trains and the Brilye
The painful climb Of thrty-sx steps now neces-

he reduced to onSthird of that number by a gently
rising slope beginning about hundred feet
from the northeast corner of the CITY Hall and
curving TO a termination broad stone platform,
where the Hall of Records now stands. the east
ern edge of this platform rest on a wall built
up from the western side of the street walk From
this wall an arch sprung the walk would con-
nect with the existing platform above the street
Stone sta!rways on each side Of the arch would
lead from the street to the grand platform in the
park. From that level. ten or twelve steps might
be necessary finish the ascent
The special gain by this scheme from utilitarian
point of view would be the dsuse of that tresome
and dangerous stairway by the countless throngs
who approach the Bridge and trains from Broad
way But from aesthetic standpoint the gain
would be !ncalculable Now the greatest bridge
in the world. starting from that crowded centre of
the city. has for its entrance structure that
might easily be taken tpr a horsecar stable with
no suggestion OF beauty or grandeur befttng the
noble work behind IL.
In design thus but rudey outlined there Is an
opportunity for some architect to leave his monu-
nlcnt and room for several sculptors to i'm
mortaiZe themselves
The stairways rising from the street should be
or grand proportions. and the stone platform TO
which they lead should be as broad as the Bridge
Abundant space would thus be given for placing
noble works Of art In bronze or marble where
everybody would hon aOyaI aPpN
CT expensive trip.
Suggestions for the establishment of the CITY
in obscure and out-of theway places are frequently
brought TO the attention of the public with urgent
appeals for their adoption. Why give this most
important focal point OF New-York a touch of
glory. combined with such intense utility that
while gratifying the pride of all citizens will earn
the daily blessings of innumerable weary stair
climbers. L. F. SPENCER
