SMITH To SIGN
BRIDGE BILL
Word From Albany Yesterday
Says Governor Will Sign
Measure ;

TOTTENVILBE, April 26.-Gov-
ernor Alfred Smith will sign the
bridge bill on May 5, according to
word received from Albany yester-
day afternoon in a telegram from
Senator Mark Allen, Staten Islands
representative in the upper house
and Assemblymen William L. vaug-
nan, Of Tottenville, and Thomas
C~osgrove. of New Brighton. the rep.
r~esentatives in the lower house.
This assurance of the governor
that he would sign the bridge bill
next week was given after a confer
ence that the three Staten Island
representatives had with the chief
executive in the matter.
There was some doubt after the
passage of the bill by the senate last
week that the governor would sign
It, but this has all been dispelled
after the island assemblymen and
senate impressed upon him the me-
cessity for a bridge or tunnel be-
tween Tottenville and Perth Amboy,
which end the bill is intended.
Because Governor Smith is COM
mitted to the plan of the New York
Port Authority for bridges and tun-
HSl6 SonaSSttfi5 up INSW OIh dHu
New Jersey vas the one reason that
the two assemblymen and senator
feared that the bill would not be
signed. After showing the governor
that the Port Authority in its plans
had not provided any bridges or tun-
nels in this section he promises to
sign the measure. The bill as pass
sd by both the assembly and senate
provides for the sum of $4,000 for
THE New York Bridge and Tunnel
Commission to make a survey be-
tween a point in Tottenville and a
point in Perth Amboy for a bridge
or tunnel for vehicular or pedes-
TRAN traffic.
A similar bill introduced In the
assembly at Trenton by Assembly
man Thomas L. Hanson, of Perth
Amboy was passed by the New Jer-
sey legislature some time ago. Gov
ernor Silzer signed the bill a few
days after its passage.
