IN FAVOR OF
DRAWBRIDGE.
. * ta,r * J.
inginesr Dsnforth Says it Would
be More Serviceable than a
Suspension Bridge.
When Charles S. Danforth, the
ugineer who is surveying the ap
roaohes to the proposed Staten Island
ringe, was seen by a Nows reporter
t noon today, he was found hnsy
scertaining the nature of the lull at
he foot of Market street, the side of
he Amboy end of tho bridge. The
loruine was spent in examining and
nrveying tho Tottenvillo approach,
liie hill there is just a little higher
ban hero.
Mr. Danfortli says the talk hero
ecms to be all for a suspension bridge.
l snspension bridge would have to '
amain one height for all time, lie
rys. It conld not be raised. lie
liinks a steel bridge conld be put np
rhich wonhl not mar the beauty ot i
itlier place. The draw would be at ’
last as wide as that of the new Rari- i
in river bridge. A cantilever bridge i
ould bo considered, but that would
o the sumo ns a suspension. It would
ave to be of oue height. A stone
roll bridge is not nt all adaptable. {
Ir. Danfortli says his plans anil
ketches will be readv for tlio next
reoting. ,
