In November. 1907, certificates calling for the payment of IfttoVMO in excess of the. contract price and the amount of the supplemental contract authorized by the Board of Aldermen were presented to the HlllO Department for payment. The attention of the Bridge was called to the fact that if these payments were made the amount authorized for the work would "be considerably exceeded. The Commissioner, in a letter to the Controller dated November 1(5.

1007. explained that in working out the details of th" plans for the superstructure of the bridge the shops it was found necessary to increase the weight of the material to he used. This. It was estimated, would increase the cost of -work by $1,526,265. He asked that the payments then requested bo and represented that under the circumstances it was not necessary to Mcure additional authority.

A ccsuoofl OPINION. The opinion of Corporation Counsel -was, however, sought fjou the subject, and under date of January 24 of the present year Corporation Counsel's office wrote an opinion to the effect that as waa nothing in the contract limiting the price to paid for the work to the amount mentioned In thft contract, plus the customary 5 pT cent margin over that price, to provide, for unforeseen expenditures, he did not see any jAiral objection to the Controller mnkine; ihe payments asked. It is noteworthy tliat in clause of the contract, enpy of which accompanied this opinion of the Corporation Counsel, the following: words are found: "No extras shall be allowed under this contract in excess of the 5 per cent hereinbefore ref erred to." Acting: under extraordinary opinion, the Controller passed the payments, amounting to come $800,000, that had been held up, as well as others, totalling in fill excess of ftmonnt of the original contract and tho supplemental contract authorized by the Board of early last year. Evidently the authority conferred by the opinion of the Corporation Counsel for making these payments was not regarded seriously, for, on April 7 of the present year, the Board of Aldermen was to authorize another contract v.ith tho original contractors without public letting for the purpose of completing the work of the erection of tho superstructure of the bridge. But between November 16, 1907.

and April 7 of the present year the sum of wag paid upon the authority only of the opinion given by the Corporation Counsel that the authorization subsequently obtained for a portion the payments not necessary. The 1 authorized by the Board of Aldermen on April 7 is an additionaj appropriation to the nmovmts expended up to that time upon work. It is evident from these facts that $1,110,000 in oxcesp of contract has already been expended upon the superstructure of the Blackwell's Island Bridge, and that there is available $1,200,000 more to complete the work of erection. This means that altogether $2,310,000 worth of extra steel will be put into the structure more than was contemptatee! when the contract was awarded five years ago, before the bridge Is finally completed. BRIDGE ENGINEERS DISTURBED.

After the failure of the Quebec Bridge last summer the city Bridffe Department began to exhibit anxfetyabont the safety of the Blackwell's Island structure. Members of the engineering staff were instructed to go carefully over the new bridge and check up the actual loads and stresses. This -work, it is undnrstnod. has been recently completed, but as yet no report has been made to the public regarding the results of the examination. Whatever this report may disclose, careful calculation made by a competent bridge engineer for The Tribune indicates that the extra weight of steel put into the superstructure and represented by the oxtra payments over tho contract price of $2,310,000 means an increase of per cent over the.

weights estimated at the time the contract was awarded. This extra weierht. it Is understood, has Increased the stress upon the carrying of the bridge to a greater degree than is represented by the increase in weight alone, for the reason that the members that been increased In weight are, it is alleged, not tht main compression members) but parts of the floor system and other sections of superstructure, which liave been changed to increase the traffic carrying capacity of the bridge It ia believed that the aclual stresses shown in the contract drawings will have, been exceeded by more than li." per cent when the bridge is completed, making the streaa upon the main compression, or members of the structure 2.1.000 pounds to tho squarp Inch or more, according to the stated in the original contract drawings- The Quebec Bridge fell under a stress, of 18,000 pounds a square inch. There does not seem to be much room for doubt that even now the nmin compression members of the bridge are under a load close to the load under which the Quebec Bridge failed. When the.

is completed these main compression members will be under a Ptres? greater than that which the Quebec Bridge was designed to carry and under three quarters of which it fell.

OLD SALT LOOKS FOR MERRY WIDOW Thinks Soldiers Who Were Stationed at Statue cf Liberty Know Her Address. The old skipper had not been to New York for forty years, and he thought it strange that new buildings had sprung up in the interim. He lived at No. 21 Pearl street In 1868, but tliere was a new edifice there now. He did not mind that half much aa bis inability to find "that old sweetheart of mine married name could not recall.

HUa own name he nald was "Wallace, Captain Wallace sir; cabin boy to master in fifteen years and sWpper of water square riggers for thirty-five, years." The bronzed and grizzled salt "allowed" that the -sweetheart was now a widow, and that when he last saw her plk was a soul. When it was suggested that she was ia "merry he frowned and went Into Whitehall ptreet restaurant. The Old Mtlppef wore good and apparently had plenty of money.
