Mystery surrounds the action of the

Greiner & Whitman of Baltimore,-Md.,
were named. Secretary Blackham of
the commission had recently declared
that the - commission' would postpone
Its meeting for at least ten days be
cause of the death of the father .of

however, the commission had a hur
ried meeting and the engineers were
chosen. '"' ' '. - ' . ; ' -
'' It Is said that members of the com
mission favor the pan suggested by
City 'Planner John .No-len.to have a Y
shaped approach from the east, one
starting j at 5 Nichols street and the
other in a straight line from the pres
ent Stratford avenue approach. .
A bond issue of $400,000 was re
cently granted to build the bridge but
the leaders of the present administra

Ipnough' to provide for the Y shaped
approach and the engineer's fee if
City Engineer Terry does none of the
