BROOKLYN BRIDGE

to Defense of Historic
Structure.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. July 2s.-Structural
engineers rushed to the defense of the
sturdy spans of Brooklyn bridge, de-
claring the famous structure to be
good ''for ages" when they learned
that Grover Whalen, commissioner of
plants and structures, had told Mayor
Hylan he planned the early calling
Of an engineers conference to dis
cuss its replacement.
A giant cable, almost sixteen inches
in diameter. which helps support the
roadway, the promenade and the
electric railway, total Of hundreds
Of thousands Of tons, has slightly
stretched, reported Commissioner
Whalen. Engineers of his department
take this as the forerunner Of the
disintegration Of the entire struc-
ture.
Gustav Lindenthal, engineer Of He'll
Gate bridge and a bridge commits
sioner of New York twenty years
ago, declared that it would be a mis-
take to rebuild the structure.

when the bridge, then the largest
ever constructed. was opened with
great ceremony. nobody ever dreamed
of eight-ton trucks and the like.
