It Is the intention or those faYor-
ing the bridge project to have the
cost of the construction work-esti-
mated at about 100000 or 6.0o0.-
0OO-shared equally by the states of
New Jersey and New York. The
senators and assemblymen from
Middlesex county will favor the
bridge and work for it at Trenton.
Senator Pierson of Union county has
promised his support and the work
of getting together the necessary
votes to make the proposition a real
ity will be started as soon as the
legislature convenes at Trenton.
New York is somewhat ahead of
New Jersey in pushing this fight for
the bridge, according to reports re-
ceived from the New York enthusi-
asts, and these men are optimistic
over the chances of a bill which
would call for the financing of New
Y ork's share of the work, passing
this year.
The proposed bridge would be as
high as the Brooklyn Bridge-1S5 10
feet above the water at the under
mart of the centre of the span-and
would be as long or possibly lenger
as the approaches would run from
the high lands on the Jersey side OF
the sound to the high lands on the
other side. The New York Bridge
and Tunnel Commission engineers
and City Engineer Booz have made
surveys along the sound to select
the most appropriate crossing for
the bridge. Although it has been
suggested that the structure enter
this city at Market street 1t is not
likely that this location will be selec-
ted owing to the cost which would
be involved because of the damage
done to property which would have
to give way for the bridge approach.
Another argument against the Mar
ket street crossing is that the heavy
traffic through that street to the
bridge would be problem in itself.
The idea of having the bridge
approach start at Bruck avenue and
connecting with the state highway
route to the shore on the outskirts
of the city is the most acceptable
here. If this were done the ap-
proach would start at or near Am
boy avenue and continue over the
Pennsylvania and Central tracks,
across State street and thence over
the meadow lands of the northern
part of the city. across the sound to
Kreischerville.
W. r. Osborne, a contractor of
Metuchen, who secured consider
able data as to the distance at which
rock will be found under water at
the proposed location for the new
bridge in the northern part of the
city has written the following inter-
esting letter to the Evening News:
Editor Evening News:
If the new bridge, contemplated
over the sound, comes to a head per-
haps some information I have and

GREAT WORKS OF ART

LUXOR. Egypt, Jan. (By The
Associated Press) For the present
at least, and probably for some time
to come, it will be impossible to get
a comprehensive view of the gigantic
granite sarcophagus of Pharaoh Tut
enkhamun, surrounded as it is by
the nest of shrines.
There is abundant evidence, how
ever, to show that it fully bears out
the surmise of the archaeologists
that the sarcophagus of Tutenk-
hamun the magnificent, would In
every wise be worthy of the great
era of art in which that Pharaoh
'reigned.

A thrilling chase from Meriden to Berlin following a hold-up in the former town. the enlistment of the Berlin police and the final escape of the culprits occurred in the town Saturday night shortly before mid night. and reads like dime thriller. George schafrik, an agent for a life insurance company, was getting into his automobile on Pratt street in Meriden, when he paused and turned around upon being hailed by a woman from a doorway. Think ing. apparently, that she was going to ask about insurance, he turned and approached the woman, ne- gress, and was about to talk to her, when he was approached from the rear and struck violently over the head.
 schafrik fell to the pavement and was robbed of about S70. His as- sailants made their escape in an automobile and the victim, regaining consciousness, was able to see that the car was making toward Berlin at q high rate of speed.
 He jumped into his own car and gave chase, The fleeing machine, moving faster all 'he time. dashed into Berlin and headed north, stop ping in front of the American Brick Co.,, where the occupants piled out, There were four sf them, according to reports. The pursuer ran to a neighboring store and enlisted the aid of several nen standing around and finally, the Berlin police were called, Prosecutor Lewis and Con- stable Frank Brown responding.
 By the timethe telephone had been done the fou' were again on their way and thu police upon arriving did all in tleir power to overhaul them, The pursued car made good its escape il the direction of Rocky Hill.
