But those days are past, with the in- crease of population and the coming of good roads, the pleasure automobile and the motortruck. The ferry service has been greatly Increased In the last, decade, but It Is now swamped, especially on Satur-daySundays and holidays. It Is of record that on Memorial day, 1921, some cars had to wait hours before they could cross on the Dyckman istreet ferry. You see, more than eight million people live and do business in New York and its environs. Another feature of the situation Is the development of the Interstate Palisades park, where New Yorks sweltering millions go to cool off. In 1921 over 300,000 cars stopped at Bear Mountain Inn In this park, and for the last five years the annual Increase In motor travel has been 40 per cent So, while the ferry lines are constantly Increasing their equipment and service, New York has decided to put something else across. One method of getting across is a tunnel, so a vehicular tunnel of two tubes Is being con'parallel structed from Canal street, Manhattan, to Provost street, Jersey City, a distance of 9,250 feet, 5,480 feet of It under water. Its capacity, will be '46,000 vehicles daily, about twice that of the fourteen Hudson river ferries. The work has now reached the under-'wate- r sections on both sides. The total cost will be about $30,000,000, and both tubes, If nothing happens, will be ready In two years. Tolls and charges are expected to pay for It In twenty years. In addition, two additional vehicular tunnel projects are under way, to be built by private capital , One is planned between Hudson county, New Jersey, and Manhattan Island and the other between Bergen county, New Jersey, and Manhattan island.' In the meantime a suspension bridge Is going across from Anthonys' Nose on the east side of the Hudson to Bear mountain In the Interstate Palisades park. It will have a main span of 120 feet. This bridge will therefore be one of the largest suspension bridges in the world, if not It will hang 153 feet ,the longest. The towers are 350 , above the river. feet high. The bridge will be ready for traffic, it Is hoped, by Labor Day of 1924. Provision is made for public ownership after a reasonable period of tolls. How the bridge will look when completed is shown by the designers drawing, reproduced herewith. The view Is down stream from the Henry' Hudson highway on the west bank, which is in great part completed and will extend from Dyckman street ferry, At along the west bank to Newburg. the right of the drawing is Iona Island, IME s, ! 1 , 29-fo- , and beyond that Jones point The railroad tracks in the foreground are those of the West Shore railroad, and the New York Central main line is d shown across the river. The model of Hudsons Half Moon is In evidence inside the west shore trestle. The hill across the river is Anthonys Nose, and the highway is part of a new hree-mile road from the Albany Post road, North Peekskill, and just below Annsville. Near the river and a little east of the New York Central railroad tracks the road around Anthonys Nose will begin. It will cross at one or two points the tunnels over the railroad tracks following the outer edge of the mountain and affording admirable views of the lofty Dunderberg and the high hills back of Bear Mountain park on the west bank. The actual width of this new mountain road will be 30 feet and the concrete surface will be 18 feet wide throughout. Its cost, owing to the large amount of rock excavation work required, will be $100,-00- 0 a mile, and before completion the cost may exceed that figure. This Is not state work, but Is being paid for by the bridge company, which received its charter a year ago from the New Yorkjegislature. Plans have been approved by the War department and the state engineer. Work on the new road around the mountain has been begun at its easterly end, where it joins the State road leading off from the Albany Post road. When the bridge crosses the river at Anthonys Nose it will be 185 feet above the river. The western end of the bridge will be at Fort Clinton, just south of Popolopen creek, near the foot of Bear mountain. The roadway of the bridge will be 38 feet, with a sidewalk for pedestrians 4 feet wide on either side. The vehicular capacity of the bridge is estimated at 5,000 cars an hour. The total cost of the bridge and the new road will be from $5,000,000 to It will be conducted as $6,000,000. a toll bridge with reasonable charges for vehicles and pedestrians. Motor travel along the Hudson River by pleasure tourists has Increased materially on the west bank of the river since the opening last season of the Storm King road between Cornwall and West Point. It is not only the most expensive road ever built by the highway commission of the state, but probably the most scenic highway in the eastern part of the country. It Is Just south of the road, at the northern extremity of Bear mountain, that the new bridge On the east bank the will be built. roadway leading from the bridge swings to the right and follows a new road three miles In length, which extends around the mountain to Roa Hook, where it connects with a road which leads to the Albany Post road. Concerning the reasons for the location of the new bridge, the Scientific American has this to say : It Is not so much the failure of the ferry owners to try to meet the situ I ation as It is the development of good full-size- charged with overcaution.

Secondly, the bridge will be about 40 miles from the heart of New York City, and vlll make a direct connection between the main highway leading through Middletown to Binghamton, Syracuse, Elmira, Rochester and Buffalo, and the Albany Post road. It will give residents of Tuxedo, West Point, Newburgh and Kingston sections direct highway connection with New York City, thereby avoiding ferry delays at New York; and now that the Kingston bridge snd Storm King road are completed, it will give route from Albany to New an York via Kingston, Newburgh and Aftother great advanWest Point. tage, especially In the vacation season, is that It will give an route to West Point, Palisades Interstate park and the Catskill district, for residents of .New York City and Westchester county. . Over and above the benefits to automobile travel will be the advantage of this crossing in quickening and cheapening the motortruck service. There is at present a very large freighttrucking business carried on from the farms, truck gardens and dairies of Orange county Into New York City. At present this traffic goes through New York state to the west of the Hudson, through Suffern, and down to New York City, through the north ern part of New Jersey, finally crossing the Hudson by ferry from Jersey City to Manhattan. The necessity of taking all of this freight over the con gested roads in northern New Jersey and the ferries Is felt to be a big handicap; and it is expected that most of It will reach the city via Central Valley, Highland Falls, and the new bridge and down the roads on the east side of the river. There has also recently been developed an. extensive freight business by motortruck from the New England states to distant cities lying to the south and west. At present these trucks use the Lincoln highway through New Jersey, and have to pass through the congested metropolitan district and use the same r ferries across the river. We give the above rather extended statement of the traffic conditions as an answer to the question that has been asked, as to why such an important bridge, one of the longest suspension bridges in the world, should be erect ert at a point so comparatively remote from the big city centers. Considered strategically, as a glance at ahy road map will show, the site has been wisely chosen. all-lan- d all-lan- d southeast of Lethbridge, Alberta, was located by an. officer of ythe Dominion Geplogical survey recently, and the position of the strata. and Its relation to Milk river has teen worked out.
