(A ii MIs LT FOR BRIDGE, | Official Report to Philbin | Says Immediate Repairs Are Necessary. District-Attorney Philbin to-day re- ceived a full report of the condition of the Brooklyn Bridac, made after « crit- + feal and exhaustive examination by Fawin Duryea, jr. C. F., who was en- gaged to ilo the work Tast July. The report, which is also signed by Joseph Meyer, also a civil engineer and @ bridge construction expert, will not be made public by the District-Attorney, Philbin sald that the repo: if published, would probably alarm the public. ‘The District-Attorney sald In answer to a question if the report did not de~ clare that the bridge 1s far from safe: Small Margin of Safety. \) “The conclusions of the engineers on | that point can be best indicated by the) folowing language in thelr report.” He then read as follows: “We belie e present margin of safety to be ao am t the necessity for repairs is very ur- went. and we have suggested means hy which the anfety ean he in- creased without materially inter- fering with traMc and at a com- paratively xmall cost.” Tt 19 further stated in the report. which covers more than one hundred . Pages, that the margin of safety will be increased by the absence of hot weather. ‘Thig corroborates the opinions given last July, when a number of stanchion bands gave way, that the heat was largely reaponsible for the weakening ygoe In some of the structural parts, Deidge Mest Be Strengthened. As evon as he had recelved the report Divirict-Attorney Philbin sent word to to give their advice as to the best means of sireugthening the bridge at once. He esid later that after considering the report of Messrs. Duryea and Meyer he could find no cause for criminal ac- against any bridge official or any pecie connected with the structure. The break in the Brooklyn Bridge c- , curred on July 24 last, or was firet no- /' iiced on that date after @ apell of severe > heat. Kiepairs were made, but they were con- sidered merely temporary. For a while bridge traMc was nearly suspended, and rince. then every bolt, stanchion and Sat as been carefully inspected almost hal Cc. C.
