LAND COST TEN MILLIONS
FOR THIS BRIDGE
Pennsy and New Haven Buy Right Ot
of Way.

New York, March, 7-Records of the
purchases made by the Pennsylvania
and New Haven railways of land need
ed for the New York connecting
bridge have just been filed in the
Queens county clerks office.
They show tn ecost of the land ac-
quired to be more than $10,000,000
The big bridge will link the two
great railroad systems by a span
across the river at He'll Gate and the
Bronx Hills, and to do this a right of
way has been purchased in Queen
borough from the Scaly Rock ond the
Astoria shore to the terminal of the
bridge in the Second ward.
The waters of He'll Gate are most
treact)arous, for it is here that the
river and sound currents meet, rails
ing up breakers and foam. The span
of the bridge at this point will be
1000 feet long and 1876 feet above
the water
