Stevenson Opposes Independent Bridge Commission Probe
The Tribune calls for an independent engineer commission to test the Blackwell's Island Bridge stresses but Commissioner Stevenson blocks talks and orders department staff to stay silent. Borough President Coler supports model tests, Lindenthal insists the bridge may be unsafe if loaded as proposed, and comparisons of original and revised strain sheets reveal significant discrepancies in dead and live loads as compared with wind stress and bearing area.

Franko Loses Boat With Police After Court Appearance
Nahan Franko, music director of 2% West 92d Street, sued Patrolman Edward Xenodochious of the traffic squad. Deputy Police Commissioner Hanson dismissed the complaint, saying Franko is an excitable man after testimony at Fifth Avenue and 23d Street during a Catholic parade incident. Franko said he paid a $2 fine instead of apologizing and claimed a prominent businessman's wife would testify if not for her husband’s objections. Xenodochious denied the charges and mocked Franko’s expectation of witnesses. The deputy ruled the complaint dismissed as Franko lost his temper.
