I Near-Completion of World’s Two Greatest Bridges Hailed in West Here, in two strikinc picture* are the world'* creates! bridee* At the left, the Saa Francisco - Oakland Bar bridee, viewed from one of its towers sad Uok inc toward Oakland** shore. In the distance, extendinc from Yerba Bnena Island, k the sec ond section of the rreat struc ture. Below, Golden Gate bridee as It appear* today from San Praackco, looking north. Within six months antomoMles will be travelinc aerom this steel road bed. Work of Urine the steel .floor aerom the '‘Gate* k progressine rapidly. 'J’HE twin* are doing GREAT, thank you. That, in the parlance of a Californian, means that the two greatest bridges in the world, both in California, are nearing completion. One, the San Francisco-Oak land Bay bridge, 4V4 miles in length, the world’s longest span, will be dedicated Nov. 12 and opened to traffic two days later. The other, the second longest span in the world, swinging al most two miles across far-famed Golden Gate, is scheduled for completion in March, 1937. Together these two epic struc- * lures will weld a score of de tached towns and cities into a unified community of near'y 2,000,000 people. Together they represent the outstanding engi neering achievement of all bridge building history. • • • lpiGHTY years of civic dream ing lay behind these massive bridges when they were actually , started in 1933. The tidy sum of | $77,000,000 covers the cost of the Bay bridge, while the Golden Gate span cost is expected to hit nearly $33,000,000. It has been “prosperity” spending, however, for 10,000 men have been given direct em ployment since 1933 and build ers estimate probably as many found work in the steel milk, the forests, and the cement plants of the country supplying the raw materials to weave into these jobs. And what materials! Californians delight to recount these statistics: The twin bridges required about 300,000 tons of steeL Lumber, used only for tempo rary construction in the two bridges, would be sufficient to build 5000 homes. The wire length of the giant rabies would circle the globe eight times. Each of the lour cables of the Bay bridge, 27 inches in diameter, consists of 17,464 individual wires, while the two giant cables of the Gate span are 36% inches in diameter and contain 27,572 sep arate wires. The concrete for the Golden Gate bridge alone, more than 260,000 cubic yards, would be sufficient to build a solid shaft 25 feet square and two miles high. The necessary excavations for the Gate bridge were equiva lent in volume to the material removed in digging a well 10 feet square and 26 miles deep. Towers range from 600 to 746 feet above water, while piers ex tend from 100 to 235 feet be low water. IVOR is the whole story to be ” found in mere statistics. These bridges set a new mark in simon-pure engineering achieve ment; achievement over tide and wind and open water, treacher ous sand bogs and subterranean granite. Moreover, gold paint, modern istic stepped-back towers, and First January Inauguration Under ‘Lame Duck' Law Is Interest Now BT SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT WASHINGTON. — The 1938 election now a matter of history, official Washington al ready is turning its attention to ward the first presidential inau guration to be held Jan. 20 and the first session of Congress without “lame ducks." Next year, as a result of an amendment to the Constitution sponsored by Senator George Norris, Nebraska, the presiden tial oath of office will be admin istered almost eight weeks ahead of the traditional March 4. That means that the president probably will have to turn up his coat collar, put on his mittens, and wear his rubbers when he delivers his inaugural address from the Capitol steps. For Jan uary is often a grim month in Washington. But this is not the really sig nificant thing. The importance of the Norris amendment lies in the fact that in January, for the first time in our history, the will of the people will be transmitted into action months ahead of the customary routine. • • • /^ONGRESS, under the amend ment, henceforth will con vene every year on Jan. 3. This year, due to Jan. 3 being Sun day, convocation will be on Jan. S. Thus the people’s choice Nov. 3 will be reflected almost Imme diately, whereas in the past a Congress elected in November did not actually go to work until months later. Meanwhile, the old ‘flame duck" session, start ing in December after election, carried on indefinitely. Inauguration of the president on Jan. 20, therefore, is really incidental to the change in the congressional procedure. The chief executive simply goes to work earlier along with the leg islative branch of the govern ment In the early days of our gov ernment it was almost impos sible, due to slow transportation, to call together in January a Congress elected in November. Now, with airplane and stream lined train, the will of the peo ple in November can be acted upon with the beginning of the New Year. One angle of the reform, how ever, makes an interesting bit of history. It win cheat President Roosevelt out of 43 days of office. He was inaugurated March 4, 1932, but his first term ends Jan. 20. Hereafter the chief execu tive will serve, of course, from Jan. 20 to Jan. 20 four years later. /“OBSERVERS here see one ma ^ jor hazard to the inaugura tion in the Norris amendment. Previously a "lame duck” Con gress had met in January, a Congress already organized, to give official benediction to the electoral college count. The new amendment sets Jan. 6 as the date for the joint ses sion of Senate and House to give legal status to the electoral vote. The possibility exists, how ever, that the House—an ad mixture of political affiliations— may be unable to organize by that date. A strong "liberal bloc” conceivably might hold up election of a speaker so that the joint session would be delayed. In that event a new law would have to be rushed through, set ting another date for verification of the electoral count. {Laundry To Add Cleaning Service Alton Kirkpatrick, operator of the Individual Laundry is announcing today that he will offer a com plete new dry’ cleaning and press ing service in connection with laundry work.

The city, built on the tip end of a peninsula, has only one land approach, from the south, and slow-moving car ferries have been its sole connection with a heavily populated main land. Every day some 75,000 com muters crowd the boats that serve the Bay communities. Even worse, perhaps, from a commercial standpoint was this isolation because the encircling bay compelled trans-shipment Of every ton of the city’s food supply. • • • AND so San Francisco glories **■ in its “twins,” the bridges. It sees the inauguration of one of the world’s greatest rapid transit systems. It sees new expansion of trade and terminals and travel along the whole Pacific coast. It sees the linking of a great metropolis strikingly like that of New York’s. The whine of winches and the rat-a-tat-tat of the riveters, high above Pacific waters, makes sweet music for California.
