Excerpt from The North River Bridge at New York City The United States Supreme Court being the highest court in the land, its decision is final and conclusive.

Excerpt from Fourth Progress Report on Hudson River Bridge at New York Between Fort Washington and Fort Lee: March, 1931 Construction work on the Hudson River Bridge is rapidly nearing completion as will be noted from the Fourth Progress Report of the Chief Engineer, included herein. Since the rendition of the Third Progress Report on April 15, 1930, all of the major items involved have been completed or are well Under way. Agreements with the govern mental authorities, both in New York and New Jersey, for the approaches have been executed and the construction work involved is progressing rapidly. The cable work (except for the wrapping) has been finished; the floor steel has all been placed; the main arch over Riverside Drive was completed on December 15th; and contract for paving has been let, stipulating July 13, 1931, as the completion date. Considering the speed with which construction is now being carried on and the relatively small amount which remains to be done, it is confidently expected that the structure will be open to traffic the latter part of 1931.

Excerpt from The New York and Brooklyn Bridge: Illustrated The great Bridge is done. F ew realize the fact. Many amiable people have gradually formed the idea that this enterprise was a gift in benevolent preparation for posterity, and often inquire, with Sir Boyle Roche, what posterity has done for us. There are even some who have looked upon the grim towers as useless monuments of an im practicable scherrie. But through so many years of waiting, the work has crept slowly on. In all human probability, the van of the unend ing procession of passengers for whom it is designed will cross the completed structure in thirty days from the present time.

Excerpt from A Complete History of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge: From Its Conception in 1866 to Its Completion in 1883 The tide of travel begins to flow back and forth over the great structure which now unites the largest and the third largest cities of the Union, the Atlantic pulsating between. N 0 longer can the impatient passenger over the East River, detained by fog or ice, look up at the slowly-growing causeway overhead, and wonder to himself and his neighbor whether he shall live to cross it, and incredulously shake his head. The old Brooklyn resident sees the task accomplished; and the long years of waiting dwindle to a moment smaller than that in which the Arabian Nights hero ducked his head in the tub of water, and experienced the vicissitudes of half a lifetime before he drew it out again, and all within the com pass of a breath. How recent seems the agitation whether such a thing were possible; the various plans, bordering all the way from Sober sanity to stark inanity; how of yesterday the persistent face and figure that buttonholed the traveller at Fulton and Main Streets.
