Lindenthal Urges
57th St. Bridge as
Terminal Solution
Cheaper Than Tunnel, Says
Engineer, Pointing Out
Roads Are Slow on Port
Plan Because of Costs

Partial explanation Of the backward
ness Of the railroads 70 Join with the
Port Authority in improving the ter
minal facilities of New York HArbor
Is contained In a statement Issued yes
terday by Gustave Lindenthal, widely
known bridge engineer, urging tho pro-
posed Hudson River Bridge a. Fifty.
seventh Street as the solution for most
Of tho elty's terminal and transit prob.
lens. The cost Of the bridge, Mr. Lin.
denthal says. would be half that Of
tunnels under tho river carrying the
same number Of tracks and vchlcular
trsffic lanes.
In New York and other American
cities. no says. the railroads have been
backward IN undermining their ter
mirals principally because OF the high
cost Of securing the necessary capital
and high construction costs. Unless a
cheap way OF providing these facilities
is found the terminals cannot be built.
The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion, when IL comes 90 take testimony
on the appeal OF the Commissioners Of
the Port Authority against the rail-
roads for failing to cooperate in It's
unifcation plan, should consider the
bridge plan. Mr.. Lindenthal believes.
The twenty lanes for traffic on the up
per deck and twelve railroad tracks on
the lower deck Of the proposed strue-
ture would accommodate eross-river
traffic in such a way as 70 save much
OF the congestion which now exists In
addition TO insurlng q cheaper and
speedior terminal and highway service
Mr.. Llndenthal believes the bridge
would solve once and for oil the trAfne
problem on West Street as well Hs the
Eleventh Avenue, or Death" avenue,
problem Of the New York CentraFS

Leather

Leather demand was seasonably
slack. The recent betterment in the
hide market failed 10 continue, al
though prices did not drop. There
was, however, a certain amount OF
trading both In raw material and
leather, and tanners are closing the
year in a better position than a year
ago. The active demand for leather
bags by shoppers practically cleaned
retail leather merchants out OF stocks.
Jobbers and manufacturers OF leather
bags, due partly to conservative buy
ing and partly TO the large christmas
retail sales, face the new year with
practically depleted stocks. Leather
beltine was quiet, but the next few
weeks should sec considerable move

Apparel

Seasonal quiet prevailed in the
Wholesale apparel markets. Spring
lines Of women's apparel have been
open for some weeks, but It Is too
early for any large buying movement
TO have been registered. In ssme sec
tlons Of the market fairly good Ad-
vance orders have been registered,
which have served 70 give manufac-
turcrs considerable encouragement In
planning for the new season. There Is,
however, n continued spirit Of caution
prevalent In the markets and admoni-
tions against over-production are cur
rent in the trade.
The mems apparel market Is making
slow but comparatively steady
progress in selling spring merchandise.
Retailers have anticipated their spring
requirements 70 a larger extent than
they did a year ago, but there is moth
ing approaching a boom in the trade at
present.
