ROEBLINGS GET A "NO" NOW
LINDENTHAL WON'T PERMIT FURTHER
EXTENSION FOR EAST RIVER
RRIHGE

Gustav Lindenthal the Commissioner of
Bridges. has denied an application by the Roeb-
lings for a second extension Of the time allowed
them under their contract for completing the
four cables Of the new East River Bridge The
contract called for the completion of the cables
within ten months after the bridge turned
over to them ready for strngng the wires. and
a fine Of 500 day set penalty for
overtime. The bridge ready for the com
pany 10 begin work a year ago. and they have
already secured extension OF their time TO
April 26 At present they have completed only
four Of the 1G2 strands Of which the four cables
Of the bridge are to be composed. They are now
at work eight more.
Commissioner Lindenthal said yesterday that
he satisfied by observation that the Roeb-
lings we're not going ahead with the work as
fast s possible. The contract" he said. gives
every opportunity to GO ahead at the highest
rate Of speed. They have free rein The price
is large. and the penalty for not completing the
job time is ridiculous Furthermore. there is
some doubt if the penalty. called a fine. can be
collected. And if II is. and the company should
be six months late. what a ridiculous penalty
would $4,000 be on $1,40o,000 contract?
