and economical. Mr. Jndwin has been
an ihtorest'd listener to the many
arguments in favor of nml against
the location of tho bridge and he
it convinced that the difiicnliy
which seems to coufront the people
may be easily and sntisfnetorily
1 verted While be is inclined to be
lieve that continued agitation of the
mutter may result in the postponement,
or tossibly the lost of tho bridge, be
still thinks the discussion may have
tiie offset of awaking a spirit of it -vt
ntion tir Ingenuity which will tettle
tin- matter to the satisfaction of ell
oonotmod, Mr Jadwtu'e opinions are
best given in his own words:
"I think, "said he, "that this bridge
matter is, us General Hancock
said nbout the taritT. merely
"a locil issue." I belj.-ve that a
bridge placed St Linden street
will satisfy the majority of the people,
at I -list to a far greater 1 Xttnt than one
at Mulberry itreet- Hut why not have
one bridge do for botu street!? It II
certainly possible to to place it ttiat it
may truthfully be calld Linden street
bridge and at the same tim b- very
co:.venlont to Mulberry ttreet. Tht
p pie voted to have it placed at Lin
dan street, mid if WO fool with the mat
ter we may run tha rtult of losing the
bridge entirely.
For A OOMPKOVUS BMDOg
My idoa is this: M ke the approach
on the SOS tem end shout 2'HJ feel above
Linden itreet on M 111 n avenue or ml 1
way between Linden and Mulberry
ttreotl If that location should lie moat
dl -treble. By doing this you give to
both ttrtela the advantage of the
bridge; you bare a nice plaOt for au
I ; 1 lb, sn 1 y u n iy hav a bri lye
from 80 lo 10 1 ; .t shorter than at Liu
den or Mulberry street it will I
more direct and consequently ten ex-
puiiSIVo to bttlld. It Will avoid the need
of tangents end will he m on directly
in lino with wetland itreet u the
Wett Side Iiy plac.ng it at either of
the locations I apeak of it may also be
ponible to avoid the itf,-,i qontlon
whieh will undoubtedly arin tboold
the bridge be placed at Mull e:ry itreet.
"Fron another p nut of view, a loca
tion nt an equal .1. .tenet from both
ftp-eta will have a betiefinal elf-ct on
;r ; r v v tinea ov.-r a more extensive
territory than if thu bridge Were to be
placed at either street Bf placing tue
bridge nl Mulberry street it will cer
tainly have a tendency tO increase Ibo
value of property in that neighbor
