New York's Big Bridges Are Useless

not located on any main lines OF

of its carrying capacity, while the
Brooklyn bridge. in spite OF the efforts
made to divert traffic from 1t, remains

worst congestion and the most inde-
cent crowding to be witnessed any.
where in the world.
Moreover. according to the view Of
these experts, bridges are out OF date
for the purposes Of rapid transporta.
ton, and are far inferior to tunnels.
Just what is to be done with these
expensive luxuries in the form OF mag.
nificent bridges. II they cannot be
made to fulfill the purpose for which
they were built. is difficult to say.
At a mark-down sale they would
hardly bring 10 per cent. of their orig.
inal cost. so It is probable that they
will remain where they are in the
hope that the future development uf
the city will bring them into greater
usefulness.
