HIGH Bridge TOO
GOOD FOR Enemies
New York Engineer Warns Of
Possible Bomb Plot During War

New York, June 23.-"The day we
gave the German ambassador his
passport we shut the water off in the
aqueduct going over High Bridge,
said Z. A. Byrne, chief engineer OF
the department of plant and struc-
ture, arguing at the meeting of the
board of estimate yesterday for the
destruction of that historic pile. 1T
was deemed too good place for a
bomb"
Mayor Hylan expressed no patience
with a large delegation of eminent
engineers who pleaded for another
week in which to prove to the city
it would be cheaper to save than to
scrap the bridge. They declared it
would cost 100000 to tear it down
and s1,ooo,ooo to build a tunnel for
the Croton water to take its place,
while to remodel 1t so as to free nav
igation would cost no more than
100000.
Maybe we won't need this water
line" remarked the mayor. Il don't
think it is working now"
Col, Merritt Smith, chief engineer
of the water department, assured him
it was not only in use, but needed
badly to help out the Catskill system
Then it was that Mr.. Byrne, whose
department Is anxious to tear High
Bridge down. said it was considered
dangerous to carry water over 1t, as
il was a vulnerable spot in time of
war, that a tunnel under the river
would have to be built anyway.
Col. Smith did not back this up
and Comptroller Craig pointed out
that the Ashokan dam or the Croton
reservoir would be just as vulnerable.
IT was laid over a week, as was
the authorization of corporate stock
to pay for the property taken for the
Willard Parker hospital in 1907.
Craig refused to vote on
it and President Hubert Of the board
of aldermen was absent. so the re-
qGired IL votes were lacking.
