The proposition before the Board OF Estimate 70

hasten the completion of that span, prompted

at the meeting Of the Board Of Estimate on Friday.
While IT will cost about double to work labor on
a night shift. there good grounds for saying
that the plan will be adopted. Bridge Commits

greatly hastened If the city could get the con
