bearing upon earnings and maintenance
Of the bridge.
Conditions surrounding the Construc
tion Of the bridge will approximate those
connected with the building of the four
bridges over the East river at New
York.
The average cost Of the latter in
round numbers was 500 900, 600 each.
The Delaware river bridge will have q

bridges and this will increase the cost.

since the. Brooklyn bridge was erected
in 1885 will prevent a repetition OF the
blunders in connection with that pioneer
work. Its inadequate and cramped ar- 10
proaches were the first and last OF their
kind in big bridge building.

THE Delaware river bridge will mark
= the real beginning Of Philadelphia S
expansion into New Jersey.
A tunnel, or tunnels. will follow.
They will be the logical outcome OF the
growth Of the metropolis. Engineers
predict this within a decade. Phila-
delphia must have them eventually.
These tunnels will be constructed
exclusively for railroad traffic after the
fashion of the tubes under the rivers at
New York.
Ferries are doomed. Freight fcrriage
for railroad cars is already obsolete.
It is out of keeping with the spirit of
the age. The rapid development OF
New Jersey to the south and east will
necessitate the construction OF railroad
tunnels, in spite Of the increased facili-
tiles offered by the bridge:
Philadelphia has needed n bridge to
Camden for half century. But her
capitalists were too busy building
street railroads in Chicago ana canals

developing the home. city,
They gave no heed to the fertile gar
dens Of South Jersey.
/. The project for n bridge across the
Delaware goes back 10 1867. Thomas ID:
Speakman, a Philadelphia engineer, and
Mnrmaduke D. Taylor, Of Camden, IN
that year organized company for that
Np,irpose. II was to cross from Walnut
street to Bridge street. Camden: lhcrc
was to be central pier on smith S
Island. Smiths and Windmill Islands
were removed from the Delaware op-
posite Chestnut street twenty -flve years
ago. The Speakman scheme never
amounted to anything.
A later agitation began few years
prior 10 1000. when Joseph NJ. Huston;
fhe Philadelphia architect, prepared
plans for n bridge across the Delaware
and for vast development OF south
Philadelphia.
Included Ship Canal
II included q ship canal across New
Jersey, entering the river just above
the proposed bridge. Another feature
was for n waterfront improvement OF
the Delaware upon a magnificent scale.
In 1918 q company. known as the
Philsdetphia and Camden Bridge Ter

OF a period of years. Sporadic attempts
to vitalize the idea followed, but no
definite step was taken until the Leg
islature OF 1917 took action, followed
by that Of the Legislature of 1919.
The span of the new bridge will be
approximately 1900 feet long. Engineers
say IL should have height above water
level of 10 feet at the pier heads and
$50 feet in the center of the span.
II is estimated that the ground and
approaches will cost as much as the
structure itself. The cost of the bridge

NEW YORK, May .28 (by Associ- ated Press) ).-Addressing the annual meeting of the American Iron and Steel Institute, President Gary of the American Steel Corporation, declared that employers of America referred to as the capitalistic group have heretofore been backward in pro- claiming their rights and insisting on proper consideration of the pol icies they advocated. He said the present so-ca11ed labor strikes were instigated as part of the campaign to demoralize social and economic conditions, and that the small minor ity adopted the word Tabor" with the concealed design of finally at- tracting the majority and obtain leg islation to destroy the constitution.

The first objectionable clause would bar Canadian vessels carrying freight to American waters except that of Cana dian origin. The second allows the shipping board or agents to operate vessels only to ports with adequate terminal connection with rail carriers, which would limit traffic to Cordova, Seward and Skagway, leaving Nome, Ketchikan, Juneau, Douglas and Sitks open only to companies now operat- ing. The third clause objected to by Grigsby prohibits Canadian vessels from carrying freight originating In American ports from Dawson to Fair banks, which would greatly handicap, Fairbanks.
 The bill has strong support, but Grigsby is not alone in opposition to it, and it may be killed for this session.

SEATTLE, May 28 (by Associated Press).-A Times dispatch from Washington says congress is devot- ing much thought to the question of the exemption from Panama canal tolls of all ships in the coastwise trade. Pacific coast ports are great ly interested in the proposal because it will put them on more even terms with the white pine sections of the south, while at the same time it will give Atlantic coast shipping a better chance at Oriental trade.
