History of Great. Bridge.

The new Manhattan bridge was design
eel In 1904: the contracts were let in June,
1885, it was finished and delivered over
to the city authorities in December, 1909.
and cost about S14,OOOCOo, not including
the price of the property acquired for
terminal purposes and approaches, which
cost $S,OOO.UO in Manhattan and $1,000,
600 in Brooklyn.
The clear height of the lower floor of
the bridge above the river at high water
is 135 feet; the upper story is 149 feet
above high water, and the towers are
336 feet high. The ma ximum grade of
the approaches is 81 per cent.
The cables are twenty-one inches in
diameter and their total length is nearly
enough to reach around the world. The
towers in which the cables are anchored
each weighs 1872 tons of steel and ma
sorry. and is built in six sections the
heaviest section weighing forty tons.
Vast quantities Of masonry and con-
crete have been used in constructing
them. Although it is as massive as need
be, the bridge is considered the most
graceful in design OF any that was eve,
built. The design was passed upon by
the art commission of the city of New
York, and was several times altered to
meet the criticisms of that body before it
was finally adopted.

Two-Story Structure.

Above the main floor is a second-story
bridge. in which these accommodate tons
are duplicated, and it Is intended that
the tracks on the upper story shall be
used by trains from the elevated roads.
and those on the lower floor by trains
from the surface roads. The roadway
for vehicles above will be reserved for
| carriages and automobiles, while that be-
low will be for trucks and other loaded
vehicles.
This bridge unites the manufacturing
districts of the two cities, and therefore
will be used largely for heavy teaming,
while the Brooklyn bridge is given UP
| largely to foot passengers, people who
are engaged in offices in the lower part
Of Manhattan Island and have their homes
across the river.
1t is calculated that the ten miles of
track on the two floors of the Manhattan
bridge can accommodate one thousand or
binary street cars at one time, which will
give you an idea of its capa city. 1t is
also asserted that 1t can accommodate
sixty thousand foot passengers without
crowding.
There has been large increase in the
number of motor trucks used, in the city
of New York. Experience of freight
teamsters during the recent blizzard will
doubtless cause a still more rapid in
crease in the future. For three days the
pawements were so slippery, that it was
almost impossible for horses to stand up
on their feet. much less haul loads of
freight, while the motor trucks rushed
along without the slightest difficulty.

Two piers will extend into the river,

may be used as an anchorage for yachts
and as scene for water pageants, faced
by broad. low platform of marble more

Hudson Memorial Bridge.

The monumental bridge across Spuyten
Duyvil, the little stream which separates
Manhattan Island from the rest Of the
state Of New York, intended to be a per-
petual memorial of Henry Hudson, is now
under construction. I wrote a full de-
scription Of it last June, with an illustra-
ton made from photograph of the en-
gineer's design.
1t is to be one of the grandest and
most beautiful structures of the kind in
the world. and is entirely worthy of the
purpose for which it is intended. The
foundations are completed.
The contract for the structural steel
was let several months ago to one of
the largest bridge-building concerns in
the country. and will be put in place early
In the spring. This will be covered with
concrete of massive but artistic design,
and a statue of Henry Hudson will be
the principal ornament.
A memorial to Robert Fulton will be
erected by the city authorities in the form
of a viaduct over a deep ravine north of
Grants tomb, on the banks of the Hud-
son. and will connect the Riverside drive
with its extension. This viaduct will not
be so large as the Hudson Memorial
bridge, but it will Of the same type

Special Correspondence Of The Star and the
Chicago Record Herald.
NEW YORK, January IS. 1910.
D recent letter / mentioned the shift
ing of political power and the center Of
population in greater New York from
Manhattan Island to Brooklyn due to the
construction Of bridges over and tunnels
under East river, for the benefit of people
who cannot afford to pay the high rents
and the excessive cost of living in the
older city.
Brooklyn and Queens boroughs now
have nine votes out of sixteen in the
board of estimates. which controls tax
alton and the expenditure of public funds
Previous to the election in November
those two boroughs had only six votes
out Of sixteen
But the power has passed from old
New York across the East river. During
the next four years the increase in popu-
latfon will make the majority of voters
on Long Island larger than ever.
Transportation Facilities.
People cannot complain of a lack of
transportation facilities across East
river.
There are two sets of tunnels in oper-
alton and there will soon be a third
One is at the foot OF Manhattan Island
the next will be the PENNSYLVANIA rail-
way tunnels at 34th street and the third

tubes at 43d street.

BROOKLYN bridge extends from the City

Park in Brooklyn. The new Manhattan

The talk that struck home was that
of Edwin Spencer on Temperance the
Foundation Of Good Citizenship"
Judge Bullock in his Introductory re-
marks. said Mr.. Spencer would talk on
temperance in all things. but the
speaker before he finished singled out
the saloon as the greatest curse and
evil that confronted the world and its
influence on the world was the re-
verse Of a producer of business and
prosperity, but in its stead death, de-
struction and ruin. He, too. said spot

loon interest makes no hue and cry as
to who they will support but are lin
ed up on their men. You must do the
same.
Mr.. Spencer is one of the bright.
clean young men who believes and
teaches what he breaches and knows
that the clean things Of life are the
towers of strength TO the community,
and the reverse things are what de-
moralize. create crime and misery.
The meeting was an exceedingly in

Jealous and intelligent advocate Of

number Of years ago he outlined a
state base line road system. which he
sent to every governor in the Union
and members of Congress and had
many complimentary replies. but there
II stopped. Mr.. Long is a firm believer
that Congress has as much authority
TO aid In the building Of good roads
as II has to improve harbors and riv-
ers. Now the question arises. why
doesn't the voter go after his repre-
sentative in Congress and never let up
until they do something. Raise some
kind OF sheol and get the assistance
Of the government in building good
roads. II We would only stick to it we
would get results. We are too easily
discouraged.
