Another Huge Bridge In Contemplation
SAN FRANCISCO PROJECT
New York Times Broadcast. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21. The Secretary of War’s (Mr. Hurley) formal approval of tho San Fran-cisco-Oakland trans-Bay bridge plans smoothed tho way for tho development of the 75,000,000-dollar project by eliminating any potential Governmental obiection.
Congress, in authorising the span, provided that permission for it to cross the Federal reservation on Yerba Buena Island should be obtained from the Secretaries of War, Navy and Commerce. The chief bridge engineer, Mr. C. H. Purcell, pointed out that the War Department’s approval was forthcoming only after consultation and agreement with the other departments, and said that, the necessary Government permit might be looked for within a week.
