Brooklyn Bridge in Use for Past Half Century Bern of a Daring Dream, It Took 13 Years to Build, and Was an Engineering Achievement New York, May 24. Brooklyn bridge today completed half a cen tury of service since its opening to an awe-struck public on a midnight in 1883. "Eighth wonder of the world," it was called then. Born of a daring dream to throw a single span 1,600 feet long across the East river, it was thirteen years in the building and cost a total of $25,094,577 ($17, 909,412 for actual construction, and $7,185,165 for property). Brooklyn, which was an independ ent city in those days it was not included in the Greater New York consolidation until January 1, 1S9S paid two-thirds of the cost. This first bridging of the East river amazed the whole wide world, even inspiring a poet to write: The nuptial knot at last is firmly tied; A hundred bells ring out a merry chime. A hundred wires proclaim to every clime Manhattan takes fair Brook lyn as its bride. On this fiftieth birthday, all New York expressed its sentiment for the famous old structure. Brockly bridge's single arch is not the longest now. For instance, there's the greater arch of Kill Van Kull from Staten Island to Bayonne, N. J., and, of course, as an engineer ing feat it is dwarfed by the mag nificent suspension of George Wash ington bridge across the Hudson 3,500 feet. But the public fondness for the Brooklyn span is such as to deny the charge that New York has no warmth in its heart for thing3 that are old and excelled. Brooklyn bridge is in the tradition of the city. Perhaps its name has been known to more people of this age than any except the London bridge of "falling down" song fame. Not the least cf the contributors to its renown was one, Steve Brodie, a Bowery saloonkepeer, who told the world he had jumped from the bridge on July 23, 1SS6. Brodie's claim nev er was completely authenticated or disproved, .but-it made him a celeb rity of a scrt and helped to immortal- ze the bridge in city lore.

Woodin Remains Treasury Chief for the Present Treasury Secretary Ann ounces That He Has Not Resigned, Nor Has . He Been "Fired." rl IF. Uarga .Hardware "Washington. Secretary Woodin informed newspapermen after a week end cruise with the president down the Potomac river, that he "intended to continue as head of the treasury." Ho was asked this as a result of speculation arising from testimony in the senate's inquiry into the af fairs of J. P. Morgan & Co., which showed that he and other notables in 1929 were on the favorite sub scriber lists of the company for pur chase of new stocks at bargain prices The treasury secretary left no doubt, however, that he would be willing: to retire fro mpublic life if he thought he might be standing in the way cf what he regards as a definite trend for return of good times. For the present, however, be said simply: "I have not resigned." It also became known that he had not been "fired." There was no couht also that Woodin, who retired as president of the American Car and Foundry com pany at the command of the presi dent to take the treasury post, almost cn the eve of March 4, had made it clear to his chief that he hoped to be free at some time in the future. It is the conviction of observers here that Mr. Roosevelt is standing firmly by the friend he called upon to help deal with an emergency and that Woodin would go thru the emergency period. Of course the Morgan hearings were brought up during the week end cruise down the Potomac river. Woodin himself brought up the sub ject. His friends say he has follow ed the trend of the investigation and is prepared to make a statement when the hearings are concluded. Meanwhile, vital treasury policies and legislation came up also for dis cussion between the president and the secretary. The June 15 quarter ly financing is approaching. The government is about to embark up on a 3.3 billion public works pro gram. A bond issue of about 8 bil lions probably will be floated at that time, an issue expected to run for perhaps five years. Talking with newspapermen Mr. Woodin was confident of the busi ness future of the nation. "All lines of business and trade are improving," he asserted. "Railroad loadings are increasing. It looks like the real thing. Of course, it has got to be a long climb but the improvement is noticeable all over the country. It is everywhere. Farmers are feeling better. The reople are spending money. There is confidence." State Journal. Julius Reinke, well known resident of the vicinity of Murdock, was in the city Saturday for a few hours and while here called at the Journal to renew his subscription to the semi-weekly edition of the paper. CLOSING BANK'S AFFAIRS From Tuesday's Dally This morning the First National bank in this city was opened for business, the last function of the re ceivership in paying off the final dividend to the depositors in the bank. The final dividend is six and three-fourths per cent and represents a total of fifty one and thee-quarter3 per cent that the bank has paid out since it was closed. The bank was closed in December, 1926 and for the past cix years the depositors have anxiously waited the day when they might realize all that was possible from the bank assets. The final divi dend will release a considerable amount of money in the community to those who were depositors in the bank when it closed its doors.
