...between lower Manhattan and Jersey City (TIME, Aug. 30, 1926). On that occasion, gold teeth flashing and freckles getting lost in dimples, the Governors had jocularly pushed and pulled each other across the interstate line. Last week's ceremony on the S. S. De Witt Clinton, anchored at midstream, was to signalize the breaking of ground for the world's longest suspension bridge* -between Fort Washington Park, N. Y., and Fort Lee, N. J. There was no jocular pushing, no pulling; but Democratic Governor Smith pertly warned Republican Senator Walter Evans Edge of Governor Moore's party...

Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas suggested a special session of Congress to provide funds for relief work; President Coolidge decided that the emergency would be over before Congress could assemble and make...
...River and the Irishmen were Governors Smith of New York and Moore of New Jersey, "two outstanding Wets in a dry spot." They had on their tops hats and morning coats, for they were met- where a line of blue mosaic was worked in the tiled wall to mark midstream-in the Holland* vehicular tunnel connecting Broome St., Manhattan, and 14th St., Jersey City, to signalize its completion. Largest river tunnel in the world,* the 50-million-dollar Holland project consists of two tubes, each for one-way traffic, 9,250 ft. long, with room for two lanes of traffic...
