engineers declare. as on the New York
side the land in this vicinity is largely un-

The selection of the 57th street site was
the result of much study. and is regarded
as final. It is assumed. in the first place
by the investigating engineers, that to De

bridge must cross the Hudson River from

very start II is seen that the bridge must

below that point the land on both SIDES

There is no more effective remedy

VISITING NURSE
IN NEED OF FUNDS.
Board of Association Confront
ed With Low Treasury, Pay
ment of Pledges Will Help.

The board of the Visiting Nurse as
ISOLATION at its September meeting at
the home of Mrs. c. E. Sharpe, Satur-
day morning was confronted with the
fact that the funds OF the association
are very low and unless the treasury
is replenished the work Of the society
will be handicapped. There are a
number OF outstanding pledges and if
these are paid up it will facilitate
the carrying on of the work greatly.
Few people not intimately connected
with the work of the visiting nurse real
ize the great amount of suffering that
is relieved and the good work
that is being accomplished. Here, as
in every other city, the one-half OF
the world does not know how the other
half lives and conditions that. come
under the supervision Of the nurse are
pitiable beyond expression and need
all the assistance that can be given.

nurse, presented her report for the
month passed as follows:
