Audubon Head Plans
Bird Observatory At
Green Isle for Study

Gay, to have an observation tower
erected.
This Is seen as the only solution
to a situation brought about by the
fact that the birds must not nc dis
turbed during the nesting season
and that many people desire 10
see them.
DR.. Pearson spent most OF two
days on the island with John Lar
son. caretaker. Cecil Carruth Of
Harrington. and others. looking eve
the situation.
The well-known ornithologist cor
roborated Larson's estimate that
there we're 20 acres Of nesting birds
which means. at the rate of 600 70
the acre. that there are $4,000 wild
seabirds either building nests, sitting
on eggs or rearing young.
$4,000 Birds
The island itself contains over
go acres. Slightly over 80 acres arc
in mesquite. catsclaw and JthcT
brush and about 20 acres Of his
brush area are taken up by the
rookery.
The tower is TO be raised near the
camp occupied by Larson and will
overlook the mesquite and catsclaw
Anyone with binoculars will be able
to get an intimate glimpse Of the
home life Of several rare varieties
Of birds including the reddish eg-
let. The tower will be ready in about
a week.
DR.. Pearson said that he and Lar
SCH estimate that of the approx
mately $4,000 birds on the island,
probably 5000 are reddish egrets.

from the crown of her head so that il
formed a kind of grotesque halo for her
tiny face. The dark hair OF the other

into two heavy braids knotted over her

OF cello and her smile came from

NEW YORK, October "A. - The
worlds largest suspension bridge, linz

shores at points reminiscent Of George

will open for 1ssiness at 5 am. to-
morrow.
Citizens were permitted to prone
made over the gigantic 3,5oo-foot span
without charge as the dedication pro-
ceeded today, but beginning tomorrow
tolls will be charged.
That is part of the plan by which
the $50 600 structure, built by the
states OF New York and New Jersey,
has been financed. More than s,oo0.-
600 motor cars are expected to cross
the bridge during the coming year.
The bridge stretches from Fort Lee
In New Jersey to Fort Washington Park.
between One hundred and seventy
eighth and One hundred and seventy
ninth streets, in New York City.
Washington Watched Battle.
From the heights of Fort Lee on the
multicolored Palisades of the New Jer-
Sey shore Gen. Washington watched
with tense concern in l776 the battle
raging at the fort that has been named
in his honor
More than twice the length of any
other suspension span in the world, the
George Washington Bridge becomes the
newest spoke in the wheel Of UNIQUE
transportation facilities Of which New
York City is the hub.
The citys population. scattered over
several island and spraying for resi-
Dental purposes into New Jersey, is
united by a network of tunnels and
bridges over which the new span now
takes its place as king Of them all.
It's two giant towers-sentries Of steel
that stand On either bank Of the river
are 635 feet high: 10000 tons of steel
and 100000 rivets went into their
construction.
Anchored on Cliffs.
A huge block Of masonry weighing
100000 tons forms the anchorage for
the cables on the New York side. while
across the river on the New Jersey
shore the engineers found q natural
anchorage in the massive rock cliffs
known as the Palisades
The bridge is suspended $50 feet
above the surface OF the river. SO that
the largest ocean-going vessels NAV
easily clear it. It's cables are to be il
Illuminated at night as warning to
aviators
At present the span consists OF a 100
foot roadway divided into four lanes for
vehicular traffic and two sidewalks for
pedestrians. But the bridge has been
constructed with an eve TO the future.
so that the number of lanes may be in
creased to eight the sidewalks TO four

transit tracks.
