bridge at this point came first from
Major w. A. WEIGH, engineer of the
Palisades Interstate park commission.

adequate facilities for getting across
the river, the park is comparatively
inaccessible to millions of New York
city people. The mateer was suggest
ed to the major by the application of
the shipping board for anchorage priv
ileges, for idle wooden ships, in the
Hudson river waters adjacent to the
park. Major WEIGH suggested the use
of the ships for pontoon bridge to
Mr.. Otis III. Cutler, who is chairman of
the Hudson River Bridge corporation,

Hudson river bridge. The undertak-
ing was found to be entirely practical !:
in fact, Mr.. Lindenthal had proposed
the construction of a pontoon bridge
across the Delaware at Philadelphia to
assist the movement of military sup
plies during the war. This bridge
would have been built but for the in
