bridge Is completed it will serve according to figures recently compiled about 1600000 people who live around the San Francisco bay district and the Interior valleys of California This bridge directly connects the peninsula region wltlj this Interior valley empire and will as a consequence become a tremendous factor In the colonisation of northern and central California's splendid agricultural lands Agriculturists all over the country agree that nothing brings more progress to a farming community than adequate connection with the distrlbutory centers and this Is just what the bridge will do for the San Joaquin and 8acramento valleys" In the meantime It Is declared that elaborate plana are being formulated for the development of Brewers Island near the site of the San Mateo end of the proposed bridge The talk of the electric line across the bridge has also revived rumors of Western Pacific Interests working to gain an entrance by the peninsula Into San Francisco At the same time
