THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE
PERFECTLY SAFE

New York Oct. g. - District Attorney
Philbin today made public the report Of
Edwin Duryea and Joseph Mayer, the
special engineering experts appointed by
him to look into the condition of the
Brooklyn bridge after the breaking Of
several suspender rods and suspender
bands July 20 last. These experts were
appointed to make this report, with {
view to presenting the matter to the
grand jury if it should be found that the
bridge department had been neglectful in
the care of the bridge and If public safety
was found to have been endangered by
the condition of the structure and by the
overlooking of the span.
The report of the experts was first sub
mitted to Mr.. Philbin on Sept. a. 1t was
full of technicalities, such as the gem
eral public rarely understands, and sto-
ries appeared in public print that the
bridge was unsafe. Mr. Philbin there
upon submitted it to W. B. Parsons,
chief engineer of the Rapid Transit Com
mission. who stated after reading 1t that
the bridge was perfectly safe
The report made public today is the
same one as first submitted to the district
attorney, except that it has been stripped
of all but the most necessary technicali-
ties. The experts find that the inspection
of the structure as maintained by the
bridge department is faulty, but that the
bridge is now practically as strong as
when constructed.

The conditions in Whitinsville are
about the same, as III many SoOQ LOWllS
