Seventy-five men, practically the entire staff of painters of the Department of Plant and Structures, are engaged in the task.

It will take them a total of 300 working days or more before the last brush stroke is made. Four Great Cables. More than 23,000 gallons of paint will be consumed in the work.

Street, Manhattan, to its eastern end at Nassau Street, Brooklyn, the main structure runs 0,855 feet, with a width over all of 122 feet 6 inches. The main span of the bridge, 1,470 feet between towers, is no place for a painter inclined to be dizzy, for at the center of the'span the workmen are 149 feet above the East River, and at the towers are 138 feet above the high tide mark.

One-Quarter Finished. The work of painting the nearest neighbor of the Brooklyn Bridge began about three months ago and it is estimated is about a quarter done.

It was designed to cary more than a quarter of a million persons in each direction in an hour.
