Commis- Moner Martin feels his disappointment keenly, His connection with the Man- hattan Bridge dates from the drafting of the original eet of blue prints, and @@ consulting engineer and finally as Commissioner the bridge has been the dominant thought of hie waking hours and has pursued him in his dreams. A dozen sets of plane are in the safe of Chief Engineer Johnson of the Bridge Department showing the completed bridge with a beautiful plaga at each end; but the practical value of these Dlans at the present time t# no more than #0 much waste paper, because of the powerlessness of the Department to go on and carry them out. Nor will any one of them bo of use until the hopeless muddle of New York transit situation 1s straightened out, and the contracts finally elgned for the building of the new subways “some day next week,” whenever that happy time wit] be. So far no one haw been able to * find out. Five Commissioners of Bridges have each in their own time spoken optim- Istically of “rushing tne Manhattan Bridge to completion and presenting It to the people as the “crowninb achieve- ment of my administration.” First came Commissioner John L. Shea, act- ing under the resolution signed by May- or Van Wyck; but he had hardly touched the plans for the “hoodoo of delay’ jot busy, and he handed “ver an inheritance of trouble to Commissioner Lindenthal, who made & determined effort to get the plans, which had been approved by the Mu- nicipal Art Commission, started toward realization, But when he came to look the plans over he didn’t like them and threw them into the waste-basket and ft was not until 1908 that new plans were approved, and the Board of Esti- mate voted $6,500,000 for the beginning of construction, AGAIN NEW PLANS AND OLD STORY OF DELAy. Now it was hoped that things would Start with a rush, but the Board of Aldermen balked and a row broke out between Mayor Low and his Commis- sioner on one side, and the Board of Aldermen on the other, which lasted until Commissioner Lindenthal made way for Commissioner Best, Best did Practically the same tning with Lin- denthal's plans which Lindenthal had done with Shea's, but finally, after four years of dreary waiting, on Feb, 20, 1905, contracts were let for the construction of the anchorages on both elder of the river, For a long time two gray stone towers faced each other across the river until people forgot their original purpose and began to wonder whet they had ever been put up for at all. The two towers, grim and reproa:hful, waited for an ap- patently endless litigation to run its course and the contracts for the steel superstructure to be awarded to one bridge before JAMES McGREERY & CO, 23rd Street 34th Street SILK DEPARTMENTS. 1m Both Stores, On Tuesday and Wednesday, June the 6th and 7th “McCreery Silks” Famous over half a Century. 15,000 yards of White Dress Silks in a large variety of weaves, including Crepe de Chine, Satin Messaline, Peau de Cygne, Liberty Satin and Washable Habutai. 65c per yard value 1.00 Heavy quality Black Satin Duchesse. 36 inches wide. 1.15 per yard value 4.75 SUMMER DRESS GOODS.
