TO give temporary relief to the unim-
aginable crOwding of automobiles,
which is heavy in any day of the week
and unbelievably bad (by those who
have not witnessed it) on Sundays and
holidays. 1t is nothing unusual to find
ones self on the western side Of the
river, or on the eastern side for that
matter, with string of automobiles
miles in length between ones machine
and the ferry; and a wait Of several
hours is a usual occurrence at these
times. The pontoon bridge, which Mr..
Lindenthal says can be built in less
than year, at a cost of two million
dollars, will afford immediate relief a
dozen miles to the north of New York
city, and will ease up the crowding
Of the New York ferries very mate
rally.
The plans call for series of steel
trusses 100 feet in length, which will
be carried by steel A-towers rising
from the decks of the ships, which will
thus take the part of the usual piers.
There will be four lines Of trusses
each 10 feet In depth, upon which will
be laid wooden flooring with total
thickness Of II inches The width
out-and-out Of the trusses will be 80
feet, and the width over all Of the floor
will be 40 feet. Thirty feet of this
will provide a roadway sufficient for
three lines Of automobiles and adjoin-
ing this will be a 10-foot sidewalk for
foot passengers. The steel towers or
piers will be erected at the middle of
tho ship, and each tower will consist
of four braced bents with their posts
battened in the direction Of the axis of
the bridge, the width being 20 feet
where they rest upon the deck Of the
ship, and feet at the top, where they
receive the ends of the steel spans.
The wooden ships which will be TAX
en- over from the shipping board will
be about 40 in number They are of
what is known as the Ferris type, 2816
feet in length by 45.2 feet broad. When
the bridge is completed, the underside
of the russes will be about 40 feet
above the water. The ships will be
very securely anchored either by. mas
sive anchors sunk In the river bottom
or by massed piling driven ahead and
astern of the ships. 1t will readily
be understood that because Of the
great size of the ships, the secure man.
ner in which they will be anchored,
and the absence Of any waves sufficient
to cause any roll or scend Of the ships,
the bridge, to all intents and purposes,
will be as rigid as one whose piers
reached to the river bottom. Further
more, because of the length of the
ships, it will be possible in the future
to make a very quick and compare
lively inexpensive addition to the ca
pacity Of the bridge by erecting add
donal towers and steel spans adjoin-
ng those at present proposed.

The government paid 100000 to TOW
them In there, and it would be cheaper
to pay 100000 to tow them out and
sink them rather than continue this
expense for another six months"
Well, the United States shipping
board finally agreed to sell 205 Of Its
wooden vessels to the Ship COnstruc
tiOn and Trading corporation Of New
York, for $500 each, or a total OF
$4,000, which is less than the esti'
mated average cost of one of the
ships.
The board, as will be noted, held
out 70 ships. 1t conditionally reserved
from the sale so vessels for use as
pontoons tovbe used in building the
proposed new bridge across the Hud-
son river.
1t announced that if the pontoon
bridge company wanted them it could
have them for $2,1O0 each, or $685.
for the fifty, otherwise they, too,
would go to the bidder for the fleet,
to which the POS vessels are to be
sold. The bidder for the whole fleet
also assented to the elimination of 20
ships, to be sold at higher prices.
The Scientific American has pub
lished an illustrated article on this
proposed pontOon bridge which con-
rains the following interesting infor-
nation:
1t is now proposed to utilize the
pontoon method Of bridge building on
very extensive scale by crossing
of the Hudson river from Yonkers to
Alpine. The width from shore to shore
is 500 feet, and the length of the
pOntoon bridge between the trestle ap-
proaches will be about 1890 feet. Pro-
vision will be made for the passage Of
Hudson river steamers by building
some form of drawbridge, probably of
the lift type, across the main channel
of the river. There will be enough
clearance between the water and the
under side Of the bridge to permit of
the passage of river tows and the
smaller craft, without opening the
drawspan.

MUNICIPAL COURT

Judge W. w. Wright was in New
port Friday to preside at session of
municipal court. The principal case.
which occupied the afternoon session
was that of James Blay of DERBY VS.
A. J. Nadeau of Charleston The
plaintiff brought suit to recover bal
ance due on certain note. It an
peared by testimony of the witnesses.
that on August 81, 1920, the plaintiff.
James Blay, disposed of at auction his
stock of cattle, also farming tools :
that at the sale the defendant, A. J.
Nadeau, purchased certain cattle. also
ensilage cutter, for which he gave his
note for $576. 90. Since that time he
had reduced the face value of the
note by making payments amounting
to $45O.OO. It was to recover the bal
ance of the note that suit was brought
by Blay. Nadeau claimed in his test
imony that the cattle and ensilage cut
ter were misrepresented at the sale
and because of this he should be en-
titled to the balance of about $3.50 due
on the note.
During the trial the plaintiff pre-
sented ten witnesses and the defend
ant four. One of the claims of the
defense on the misrepresentation
charges was that the arbor of the en-
silage cutter was bent. In his deci-
sion Of the case by Judge Wright, the
court allowed the defendant SIS. 90 of
the note for this, but ruled that he
should pal the balance due on the
principal with interest and costs of
trial.
Attorneys for the plaintiff were
Smith and Pierce. Walter H. Cleary
represented the defendant, Nadeau.
