AcQiifsitiGii
New York, Dec. 19. Dig ships and
littles ships, tugboats and rowboats,
nnptha launches and .team lauuche,
and bcowb and craft of every concelv
ablo slso and description swarmed in
tlio East Hlver opposite tho Urooklyn
nayy yard today and scroechod tliolr
whlHtltw and 11 rod tliolr gtmv to ap
prlBo all within bearing that tliu now
Williamsburg bridge, after an expend
lturo or f20,0()a.0UU and oIkIiI years of
toll, was at Inst an accomplished fact.
It was a day of Jubilation for Now
York In general and for Williamsburg
In partlcuUu, for to tho people of the
Inst named section of tho metropolis
tho completion of tho new bridge
moans froetlom from tho daagerous
crush tlioy have been obliged to con
tond wltli for years In crossing the old
Urooklyn brldgo. Tho ceremonies nt
teudlnK tliu formal oponlng woro
simple but Impressive. The chief
oflloJnUi of tho city, togethor with rep
resentative of tho Federal govorn
mont, army and naval ollluora, dis
tinguished Qiiglnoers and othor Invited
guoslH, assembled In the contro of tho
gigantic span across tho river and
llstonod to orations approprlato to
tho occasion dollvorod by Mayor Iow,
Drldgo Conmilslontr I,lndonthal,
and Borough Presidents Canton and
Swnnslon. Commissioner Llmlonthal
made tho oponfng address formally
turning the bridge ovor to the city.
Tho speech of acceptance was de
livered by Mayor Low and Was the
chief feature of tho coreraonlos. The
completion of tho exercises was
marked by tho booming of cannon and
and tho unfurling of flags throughout
the great length of tho structure.
The general public was not per
minted to cross the brldgo today and
thus was avoided the possiblltly of a
crush such as was witnessed at the
opening of tho Urooklyn bridge nnd
which resulted In the deaths of more
than a score of persons. Hut one
roadway of the new bridge Is entlroly
completed and this will probably be
opeueil to tralllo tomorrow or Mon
day. It Is expected that the other
rodwny and the paths for pedestrians
will bo ready within a few weoks.
In general appearance tho new
bridge soems much moro massive
than tho old Brooklyn brldgo, but at
the same tlmo It Is much less graco
ful. In length, width, height nnd the
number of Its promenades and trolley
tracks tho now structuro surpossos
tho old. Tho Manhattan tormlnnl of
the new structure Is at Dolancy stroet,
while the Williamsburg ond Is nt
South Fifth stroet. In the construct
ion of theso great iormlnnl nnd ap
proaches whole blocks of buildings
wore1 rased.
The loitgth of the bridge betwoon
Its ternllnnls Is .7,200 ftot, or ovor
one and one-third miles. The main
spare, from tho contor of one towor to
that of the other Is 1000 feet long
The width of the structure Is 118
feet, as compared with 86 feet, the
wJcKh of tho old Droolflyn brldgo. Its
minimum holght above high water at
pier head line Is 122 feat nnd Its
minimum holght for 200 foot on
either side of tho center of tho main
span Is 135 foeL Tho holghts of tho
cable on tho top of tho towers Is
333 foot nt tliolr contor.
Throo thousand and forty-eight
tonB ot stool havo been used In con
structing oach of tho towors, whllo
nearly 17,000 tons havo been put Into
tho great approaches. In each of the
suspension cables, which aro 18
Inches In dlamotor1, thore aro 7,096
soparnte wires, theso wire hslng
3,500 foot long and three-sixteenths of
an Inch in thickness. Six and ono
half mjlllon feet of timber woro re
quired to construct the brldgo and tho
steel employed amounted to 40,000
tons. It was nocosiary tp oxcavato
12B.000 cubic foet of oarth and to toar
down several hundred buildings and
houses
Both of the towers are planted on
solid rocjt foundations. For tho Man
hattan anchorage 3,500 piles wore
drlvsn through clay and sand until
they reached a solid foundation. The
anchorage on the Williamsburg side
Is said to rest on natural sand. vThe
bridge Is provided with two drives
for carriages, four trolloy tracks, two
olavatod tracks, two footwalks and
two blcyclo tracks.
Authority for constructing tha
bridge was contained In a law enacted
by the stato legislature In 1895. In
Ootober of the following year the first
work was begun on, the Manhattan
tower foundation. On April 14. 1901,
tho first wire for the temporary foot
brldgo was strung, while tho first
wlro for tho pormanent cablo ' was
stretched across the following Nov-
ombor. The cables woro finished In
August 1902.
j The oponlng of tho now brldgo Is
'oxpected to rollovo Fomowhat the
lovorburdon of traffic on the Brooklyn
bridge. This measure of rollef how
lover, will not bo nearly so great as
might be supposed at first glance at
'the situation, for the reason that tho
I great bulk of traffic that will use the
I now structure havo heretofore crossed
(tho rlvor by ferry and havo not used
Brooklyn bridge to any oxtent The
j ultimate relief of the Brooklyn brldgo
rush lies In tho completion of the
third bridge across the Bast rlvor al
ready undor construction at a point
l about midway between the Brooklyn
bridge and the Williamsburg struct
une opened today. In addition to
theso three bridges a fourth Is to con
nect Manhattan with tho Brooklyn
shoro by way of Blackwoll's Island,
so that New York In a few years will
be ablo to lay claim to the tltlo of
tho city of magnificent bridges,
