tween Perth and South Amboy, over
the Raritan river, which were sub
mitted by the State Highway De-
partment of New Jersey at the hear
ing before Colonel Sanford of the
board of army engineers in this city
today, met all the objections made
at the hearing before the colonel
last week, when former plans were
submitted and did not meet with the
approval of either the army engi-
neers or representatives of various
municipalities affected by the struc-
ture. Those representing Perth
Amboy at the hearing were Mayor
William C. Wilson and City Engi-
neer Morgan +. Larsen.
According to the plans submitted
today the bridge will be at right
angles with the river. There will
be two openings in the draw. each
of which will have a clearance of
40 feet. The bridge will be situat-
ed a little westerly of the former
line, and although this will not af-
feet the approach of the structure
at Convery Place it will meet all
the requirements of the war depart
ment.
Mayor Wilson of Perth Amboy.
stated that as far as that city is
concerned they approved the plans
as they now stand.
A Mr.. Scott, representing the Jer-
sey Central Traction Company. said
that the company had arranged with
the highway commission to take care
of the trolley tracks on the bridge.
and that they would be located on
the southerly side of the structure.
AS far as the trolley Is concerned.

D. X.
Colonel Sanford asked about the
removal of the old bridge and was
advised by the highway commission
that it would be possible and desir-
able to remove it at the end of 1925.
as the new structure will be ready
for traffic in 1924.
Richard c. Jenkinson of the
Commission of Commerce and Nav
igation said that the plans as SUBJ
mitted today had been approved by
that body. The Commission of
Commerce and Navigation wished
rapid completion of the bridge. The
bridge commissioner. Jenkinson,
pointed out, would be of modern
construction. consisting of stone and
cement. There will be 125 feet
>setween the piers and a swing draw
of 140 feet. This is considerably
larger than the old one. and is am
pie for navigation for some years
to come. The very best of feeling
exists between the highway COM
mission and the commission of nav
igation, said the commissioner.
There was some discussion as TO
the current at the bridge, and it was
reported that tests had been made
which showed that the tide was at
right angles to the bridge.
AS there were no objections to the
bridge offered at the hearing today
the actual plans for the structure
will be started, as they must be SUBJ
mitted to the war department be-
fore work on the structure can be
started.
