WORK NOT HALF
 DONE AT BRIDGE

Why they have only just begun on the work of removing the bridge and clearing the channel was the answer to the inquiry of a Times representa- tive to the question as to the pro- gress that the Eastern Engineering g Company had made towards the com pletion of the contract for removing the Steeplechase Island bridge for which the company had presented a bill of over ss0,oOo to the city and which was held up pending an inves- tigation by a sub committee of the Board of Apportionment.
 '"The only work so far done has dredging has been going on only two weeks.
 "The dredging will take several weeks longer and then they will have to remove the approaches on either side and it seems to me that it would take several months longer to com plete the job.
 "Of course if they don't remove the approaches it won't take so long but it is necessary that the approaches be removed or they will catch all the ice during the winter and block the channel so thatsit cannot be used. "The dredging is more difficult now as the dredgers are striking sand and this runs through the old scows and does not stay until it is dumped ir the Sound.
 "I believe that it is fair to say tha1 | the contract is not half completed | and that it will take several month. | to do the job right"
