THE WASHINGTON BRIDGE for the needs and convenience of 40,000,000 of the traveling public, should be placed at the edge of Philadelphia's business center WASHINGTON SQUARE not at Spring Garden Street, nearly a mile out of the way, to the financial gain of the ferry companies and certain selfish corporate interests. NATURAL CHANNEL OF TRAFFIC Because the heaviest traffic is centered between Market and Walnut Streets GREATEST PERCENTAGE OF FERRY TRAFFIC Ninety per cent, of all ferry traffic crosses the Delaware between Market and Walnut Streets. RELIEF OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION The Bridge should be located at the edge of the business center of Philadelphia to relieve congestion. BRIDGE COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATIONS Washington Square site was unanimously recommended by New Jersey Commission and the Pennsylvania Commission with but one dissenting vote. COST OF LIVING AFFECTED BY BRIDGE LOCATION Do you realize that the farming interests of New Jersey send across the ferries daily to the great Dock Street Market FIFTEEN HUNDRED truck loads of produce ? To place the bridge elsewhere than at Washington Square would immediately increase the cost of our food by drayage and delay in delivery. Think what a Spring Garden site would mean two-thirds of a mile from the traffic center on the Jersey side and nine-tenths of a mile on the Pennsylvania side! Why did the railroads place the ferries at the foot of Market and Walnut Streets? To cater to the traveling public where needed the most. It's the only logical spot for the Bridge.
