would be given for the laying out Of special auto
mobile roadway. in addition to that set aside for
vehiCuIar traffic

bridge on which provision is made for automobiles
I can understand why this provision was not made
on the Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges. When

be constructed within the limits Of greater New
