Advocates Bridge From East
l25th Street to Astoria


TO reach the opposite shore of upper
Manhattan or the Bronx.
IN looking at the bridge question
from the Queens side it will be found
that people from Astoria desiring to 20
10 upper Manhattan or the Bronx have
"TRIP OF IRON one and one-half to two
ana one-half hours, which by the pro-
half hour.
Advantages of Proposed Bridge
"At 125th Street Is to be found a
business center of great Importance,
numbers Of banks, thcaters, hotels,
dry goods stores, and, in fact, branches
OF the largest concerns in tho city. At
rlrst Avenue is the terminal of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Marlem branch lines, which run to
New Rochelle;, the Boston g. West
chester lines, which run to White
Plains and Pdrtchester. At Second
Avenue Is an express 81" station;
at Third Avenue is an express
'L' station; at Lexington Avenue is the
express station of the subway running
direct to Pelham Bay, Woodlawn and
East 1soth Street; at Park Avenue is
thc union station of the New York Cen
trail Railroad. Harlem Railroad and
New York. New Haven a. Hartford
Railroad. at which stop all local and
most of their express trains.
AT Lenox Avenue is the express SUBJ
way station of the Seventh Avenue
line; at Eighth Avenue is an express
~ station connecting with the Put
nam Railroad; at Broadway is subway
express station for Washington
Heights; at the Hudson River are docks
tor the Albany night and day lines,
Ccney Island boats, the new state park,
etc. There are about thirty or forty
street car line connections going north
or south from this street, which is geo
graphically the exact center of the old
City of New York.
Would Benefit Farmers
ut might be we'll to say this bridge
would afford quick and cheap means
tor the Long Island farmers to bring
their goods to market, which would
tend to bring about lower cost of
living IN these sections. 1t would al
low workmen to erect cheap homes on
Long Island, and be within twenty min
utes of any part of the city.
This bridge would complete the
chain of East River bridges and is
likely to be the only one that the
Bronx, Washington Heights or Harlem
will over have. due to the great width
of Long Island Sound to the north Of
this point, and is sure to be found tho
most badly needed"

Cuvillier's Bill for New
lnterborough S p a II
Meets Wish of Harlem
Business Men

The Harlem Board of Trade is ad.
vocating a bridge from 125th Street
crossing Randalis and Wards islands
to Astoria. Such an improvement
would save IMach time daily in trayeI
from the upper sections, the board de
clares. and in other ways would be o,
great benefit to Manhattan and Ions
Island.
A bill for such a project has been
introduced in the Assembly by Assem-.
blyman CuviIlicr 1t provides. that "a
permanent suspension, cantilcvor, iron
steel or stone bridge be constructed
over the East River between the bor-
oughs of Manhattan. the Bronx and
queens. The bridge when constructed
snail be public highway and free OF
an toiis to az people, pedestrians and
Vehicular traffic, except all franchises
granted by the City of New York.
,, II; benjamin Franklin, chairman, and
3. Walter Barnett, secretary, of the
Trl- Borough Bridge Committee of the
harlem Board of Trade, have sent on,
statement giving the reasons aud
adVantagss for such bridge from,
.'ast st 1-oth Street to Long Island as
follows:
Bridge Would Be Time-Saver
With only the Nincty-second Street
terry IT becomes necessary that a
connection with Long Island be made
at the upper end of Manhattan Island
by way of bridge, from East 125th
Street, crossing Randall's and Wards
islands. to Astoria. If correctly in
formed, about SO per cent of the popu-
iation of the entire greater city reside
north of Fifty-ninth Street, which
would include Yorkville, Riverside
Drive section. Harlem. Washington
heights, Dyckman section, and the
Bronx, not forgetting the Long Island
shore, where lie Astoria, Flushing.
Whitestone and other sections. At the
present time it is necessary for people
OF these sections, if driving, to go
south, IN great congestion, to narrow
tltty-nlnth Street. thence east to the
Queens Borough Bridge II travelling
by subway or IL" it is necessary to
take local train to Fifty ninth Street

We Are Not the
Only Sufferers

1t may be solace to the thous-
ands and thousands of bewildered
New Workers seeking Accommodations
here to know that they are not the
only ones in this wide world who
are so troubled. Information comes
from Japan that that country is
badly in need Of tenement houses.
The shortage of homes is so great
and the effect on the composure of
the nation so alarming that the
matter has become a Home Office
problem. Reports to the central
government from every corner of
Japan have resulted in a decision by
the Home Office to come to the as
sistance of various large cities.
Capital has been furnished to Toxic,
Osaka, Kioto, Yokohama, Kobe and
Nagoya at very low rate of interest
for home building purposes. The
authorities of Osaka are planning to
spend $10,000000 in building 10000
tenements which will be under mu-
nicipal management.
