These plana being of nece-sity only general in their character, authority is given for the construction of all necessary turnouts, switches, supports, sidiugs, connections. landing places, stations, buildiugs. platforms, stairways, elevators, water stations, telegraph nnd signal devices, togeth with all other necessary requisites in the construction, operation and maintenance of such elevat-d railways, as may be needed from time to time for their proper construction in case of nuexpected obstructions or difficulties in construction and for the comfort, safety and convenience of the traveling public, and the proper operation of the ud bridges aud elevated railroads, including such changes in operation as experience shall prove to be required. All pavements, curbs, gutters and aide-walks, and all sewers, drains, water and gas pipes encountered in the excavations shall be cared for aud restored if they are moved or injured and all such work or excavation nnd construction iu connection witn foundations on tbe public street shall he (loue in compliance with the btate or municipal laws relating to the streets and to the satisfaction of the Department of Pub-lto Works in the City of New Y'ork ana of the Department of City Works in the City of Brooklyn.

These specifications shall be incorporated into and shall constitute an essential part of every contract entered into by the company for material or Wherefore, your petitioner, the East River Bridge ompany, respectfully requests your honorable body for its consent nnd permission to construct, maintain, operate and use an elevated railroad upon the various routes designated in the said plan as hereinbefore set forth, and as provided by the above mentioned acts. And your petitioner will ever pray. Jto. Dated New York, September 29, 1892. Eabt Rier Bridge Company, seal By Frederick Uhi.mann, Elisha Dter, Jr.

President. Secretary. It will be noticed that the terminus of Bridge No. 1 (Broadway) nnd that of Bridge No. 2 (Hudson avenue and Fulton street) will come pretty close together in New York.

This fact will enable the company to solve the problem of rapid bridge travel. The present structure, as everybody knows.oould accommodate thousands more pssseugers if its system of hrndlmg trains were better. These trains are shipped from one track to another and the delays are great and the annoyances generally interminable. The company has solved the problem in advance and they have solved it for the reasou that they are to have two bridges to operate instead of one. What is mtended is to continue the elevated railroad strnaturs on the New York side from one bridge to the other, and trains will be run from one bridge to the other and across.

In other words a tram that leaves East New York on the Broadway hue will continue ou over the Broadway bridge, make a curve on the structure in New York through rivets property and across streets to ridge No. 2 aud across the river, continuing on to Fort Hamilton and other points on this side of tbe river. The trains crossing the river from Brooklyn to New York ou Bridge No. 2 avenue), will oontinue on in New York, connecting with Bridge No, 1 (Broadway), recross the river and go on to the extreme terminus of the elevated system at East New York. The advantsges of this plan can be Been at once.

There will be no inch thing as shiltiug or switching trains on either bridge. Continuous travel will be possible. The plan will be of advantage also in reaching opposite sections of Brooklyn. Residents of the Eastern District, for instance, who detire to get to the Western District can oross, in the- elevated system, one bridge, remain on the oars, recross the river, and in a few minntes find themselves at their destination. People in the Western District also can avail themselves of the two bridges in reaching the Eastern Distnot.

Tbe fact that the necessity of ewitohing trains on the bridges is done away Nnth is one that tbe company lays particular stress on. It is the strong leature of the greet enterprise. to those shown on the plans hereto attached, and signed by the President and Chief Engineer of the Com puny. Tbe generul location of traoks UDOn the structure shall be suoh as to admit of inter-tmek stations and necessary aidiugs of turnouts between tracks for tbe passage of trains in either direction by trains that may be npon tbe sidings, except that in streets less than thirty feet between tbe curbs the stations shall not be placed between traoks. In passing over other elevated railways and at such othor points as it may be desirable to keep as low as possible without en-oroacbing upon bead room, traoks may be carried by through spans, on whioh tbe tracks are carried upon floor beams and stringers between longitudinal girders.

COLUMNS. No part of any nbutuont, column, pier or anchorago of any part of either of the two bridges used as a drive or roadway for vehicles drawn by animals, or equestrians, ball be located in whole or any part upon any street or publio place except to cross it. In Spring street tbe oolumns for the support of tbe part of the structure used for railway purposes shall be located upon the sidewalkg mide the curb line in each a manner ai to interfere as little as possible with travel upou the sidewalk and in the roadway, and aa may bo approved by the Commissioner of Public Works in the City of New York and of City Wonts in the City of Brooklyn By the term curb line ia meant the line fixed by the looal authorities for the location of enrb atouea for any street. Upon West street, and upon Grand street, east of Goerck street, oolumns for the support of the portion of the structure not used for vehiolea drawn by auimals or by equestrians, may be located within tbe curb lines as above, or in the roadway not less than ten feet from each curb, or one row npon the sidewalk and the other in the street as above. In no street shall there be an excess of two rows of columns excepting where an extra column may be found to be necessary to meet the exigencies ariamg in construction, as at stations, curves, Jtc.

Ihe roadway of every cross street, not more than thirty feet between the onrb lines, shall be apsuned by a Bingle span, except where columns are located in tne roadway. Ihe loDgiludmal diitance between columns shall be at least thirty feet, with the exception of those at stations, curves, Ao. The location of all oolumns in the streets hall be approved by the Commiasioners above mentioned. No column shall be more than twenty-four inches upon a side if rectangnlar, nor twenty-four inches in diameter if round, exclusive of fenders if in the roadway and bases if upon the sidewalk. All columns erected in the roadway ofYny Btreet shall be provided witn suitable fenders upon bases, to prevent the hubs of passing vehicles from striking the column.

No part of the supported superstructure shall he less than sixteen feet above the surface of the roadway, as fixed at the time of construction. herever auy existing elevated railroad is crossed, at least fourteen feet head room hall be allowed between it and said elevated railroad. At stations, curves, Junctions, sidings and terminals, columns and tracks may be otherwise located as the necessities of con-stiuctiou may demand. In such instances columns necessary for the support of structure or track may he located in the curb lines of maiu or cross streets when in the roadway thereof, not less than eix feet from the centre of any street-car track nor within ten feet of the curb lme of suoh street. Iu above cases tracks may be placed above or across sidewalks or adjoining private property as may be required for the sate and convenient operation of the railways.

FOl NDATIONS OF COLUMNS. Foundations of columns shall be built of stone, brick or concrete masonry in a substantial manner, eo proportioned aa to carry tbe loads with safety. Sab-piers or piling may he resorted to when needed by nature of the ground. All masonry Bhall be laid in good hydraulic cement mortar, in which clean sharp sand is used. All material aud workmanship shall be first clnBS.

SUPERSTRUCTURE. i With the exception of wood work of track systems and stations, the superstructure may be of iron or open hearth steel, designed and bmlt to satisfy the requirement of the load and traffic imposed upon it All workmanship shall be equal to that required in first class bridge construction. -v.

Rivet ateel must have ultimate strength not exceeding 54,000 pounds per square inch and show reduction of area of 60 per cent. Rivet heated to red beat and upset for 8 inches of metal shall show no crystalline appearanoe when ent out.
