TO PROBE BRIDGE, Grand Jury Will Make Inquiry—tIn- vestigation Shows Structure in Bad Shape. eae, A close examination of the Brooklyn Bridge this morning showed it to be in a deplorable condition with ironwork rusted, woodwork neglected and vital parts of the structure practically rotting away. This was true particu- larly of where the suspenders Srom the cable entered the gir- ders, Acting District- Attorney Le Barbier sent a communication to Police Commissioner Murphy to-day calling for an immediate report on the bridge. Te said that. if, as reported, the break- ages had been known and no steps were taken bo repair them this constituted criminal negl gence and would be at once called to the attention of the Grand Jury. Further breaks in suspenders and other weaknesses were dis- covere:t to-day, All traffic on the north road- way ‘vas suspended to-day and will be until repairs are made, Only light trucks and c few cars are allowed on the south roadway. William H, Morrell, of No, 34 West Twenty-fifth street, went to the offices of the Commis. sioner of Bridges to-day and declared that the north road- way of the bridge had sagged six inches. Assistant Supervising Engin- eer Trobasco says that troffic on the bridge may be resumed in full fo-morrow morning, An Evening World reporter se Jcured a pass from Assistant Su Vising Engineer Probaseo to-day and visited the north bridge.
