COMFORT STATION NET AVE2 OF D BFIDGF Mr. "'. W.

Lee spoke to me about this and I went over kip+ plans to -day and think I have the idea, pretty well in mind, but told him I t' ouaht couloil would want to investigate the n.Attur closely and secure an estimate of coat. I have mot yet had time to see hew best it car. be provided for. There are several features that are not desirable about Mr. Leelee plan,- ono is that if this station is carried down against the edge of the abutment it will ruin the linen of the arch - it will a -pear to be an after consideration. Also, I don't be).ieve yeu will ever be ea.tisfaeed• with any sort of a comfort station other than one with sanitary features. ' r. Lees idea was to put it :sown close to the river and not have running water in the station but I think that would become a nuisa.noe without water and offset the ::rice you would pay for crater. Another thing, it would answer for pedestrians only as of c:.arse an a.'.;tor:.obile -r other vehicle could not be stopped on the bridge, still it might be wall to enle.ree one of the bri:ige tender's houses, the one on the *east end of the briJye, and provide rotation in there, on a level with the street. :r.
