B.y Bridge Engineer Predicts A nother Era o[ Prosperity for Messuge For S. F. B.y District Your Farmer Customers

In a talk before an attendance of more than sixty lumbermen at the regular monthly dinner meeting of East Bay Hoo Hoo Club No. 39, held at the Athens Athletic Club, Oakland, Monday evening, November 13, H. J. Brunnier, member of the board of consulting engineers of the'San Fran,cisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, expressed his opinion that prosperity is right at the front door of the San Francis,co Bay district, and that the building of the bridge marks the beginning of a greater San Francis,co. He based this opinion, he said, on the fact that estimated expenditures on building projects, including the bridge, will be about $65,000,000 a year for the next three years, each yearly total being greater than in any one previous year.

Introduced by H. Sewall Morton, entertainment committee chairman, Mr. Brunnier gave a brief history of the Bay Bridge proje,ct, brought ab,out he said, by community cooperation, and a fine example of what can be accomplished by such cooperation His talk was illustrated by slides and his ,clear explanation of the various construction processes answered many of the questions now being asked by the average man regarding them. He said 1900 men were now employed on the actual bri.dge construction and that this number will gradually increase until next July when lz,W will be employed. The bridge will be completed by January, 1937. When it is completed those crossing the bay by automobile will save 30 minutes in going from downtown San Fran.cisco to downtown Oakland, and commuters will save 15 minutes.

President C. I. Gilbert presided. He held an old {ashioned roll 'call and assessed a few fines

Secretary Carl Moore re,ceived a number of checks for dues from members. He said this is a good indication that conditions are on the mend.

Professor Emanuel Fritz, edu.cational,comrnittee chairman, continued his talk on "How Wood Looks Under the Microscope", and' also told the lumbermen how to select timbers for strength by choosing those that had the largest 'amount of summer wood layers in their annual rings. He illustrated by passing around samples of two sections of timber, one with 25 per,cent and the other with 52 per cent summer wood, and citing the great differen,ce in the strength of each.
