In answer to a question whether any representative of the Republican organization attempted to exact partisan pledges from Justice Gaynor, Chairman Parsons said to an Eagle reporter: "Absolutely no. The only thing I ever heard of was that a few people were curious to know: "First, whether Justice Gaynor was anti-Tammany, which meant whether he would decline to run on a Tammany ticket, and "Second, whether he was so sincerely desirous of serving the city that, If elected, he would serve four years.

With this report Commisslonei Stevenson announces that the bridge will be thrown open to vehicle and pcdestrlai traffic before the end of the year. Thl is the first official announcement from the Bridge Department. Yet while the Bridge Department has been exercising all Its energies to have this big structure completed on contract time, the Board of Estimate, President Coler and other officials of the city government who are responsible for the conditions of the approaches and the inability of the Bridge Department to lay out the plans at both the Brooklyn and Manhattan terminals of the bridge, have done nothing.
