In an interview with a reporter for THE NEWS, Goldman dealt telling blows to the points raised by opponents of the proposed span which is to link Manhattan, Bronx and Queens. He showed that the estimated cost of $25,000,000 would be far outweighed by the immense benefits that would accrue to the city from the much needed improvement.

To Relieve Other Bridge. "It has been stated," said Goldman, "that the tri-borough bridge would not relieve the congestion on the Queensborough bridge. There is no doubt in my mind that it will relieve congestion on that bridge and in fact on all the East river bridges. It is estimated by some that 20 per and by others that 30 per of that traffic on the Queens-borough bridge either is destined for or comes from points north of E9th st. The Queensborough bridge would certainly be relieved cf the greater part of that percentage." The commissioner belittled the argument that the bridge is not needed because ferry operation has been a financial failure between the points the new structure would connect.

He declared that all the city ferries are financial failures and argued that vehicles prefer the almost impassable Queensborough bridge to the upper East river ferry lines. Not Wide Enough.

This would mean a roadway only wide enough for five lane of traffic.

Hearing her stir the elopers fled without taking any clothing or baggage. Although Mrs. Jones denied that she threatened to kill her husband when she learned of the guilty love between him and her daughter, she admitted that there was a terrific row in which she threatened to call the interest of the whole community at" heart. This plan of the tri-borough bridge is designed for all the people of this great city, and I am fully convinced that tt is the one project that will afford relief to vehicular traffic congestion.
