'AUTO TO PENETRATE CLD VENICE AT LAST New $3,650,000 Bridge to Main- land Will Bring Cars to Island City. VENICE, Italy (#).—The new aimiang. il ; |to link Venice and the bring automobiles into this island city for the first time in its history. By late in 1931 or 1932 Venetians will behold the rare sights of cars and trucks entering the city—and many na- tives never have seen an automobile. ‘The bridge, now well under construc- tion, is being built in three sections. | The one at the mainland connects with highways from all over Italy. ‘The one at Venice proper flows out into an enormous parking place suffi- clent for several thousand automobiles. The auto park is the limit of the | automobile’s penetration into Venice. | The motor car probably will never be able to go as far as St. Mark's Square, center of the city, because of the nar- row, winding streets—mere footpaths— and the canals to be traversed. It was first decided to make the park- ing place an enormous elevated plat- form, but this plan was dropped. Ga- rages, architecturally in conformity with Venetian buildings, will rise to many stories alongside it. | The new bridge, an architectural twin |of the old railrcad bridge, will be formed of arches made of red bricks and of white Istria stone, characteristic |rials of Venetian palaces. It will be capable of supporting prac- tically any weight, so in case of neces- sity tracks could be laid and trains run over it. * Its total cost will be about $3,650,000. | Five thousand workmen now are oc- |tup£ed in the construction, and unem- ployment has practically ceased.
