decades ago when important struc-
lures were erected withou, any regard

striking example of this is the old
Brooklyn Bridge, which has served
- a great link between two boroughs
OF our city, and which as a thorough
fare has probably been usc, more
than any other In the world. While
his structure was q great engineering

The question Of making n proper
approach to the first great bridge of

Bridge Commissioner Erackc for
some time. since he feels that the close
proximity OF this structure to such Inv

Hall and the dignified Municipal
Building calls for an improvement
which would make the approach At
