GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE IS
NOW OPEN TO TRAFFIC
SAN FRANCISCO. May 28—For
mal ceemonie? were held today in San
t Francisco in connection with the offi
cial opening to traffic of the Golden
Gat* Bridge, the world’s greatest
suspension bridge. It spans a mile of
water.
The building of the structure,
which cost $35,000,000 -was achieved
in the face of skeptics who said such
a bridge never could be erected. It
‘is made of steel and concrete and
links northern and southern (Calif
ornia on the Oeean Highway.
The opening ceremonies at which
delegates from Canada ar.d Mexico
were present, inaugurated aa 'week’s
fiesta.
Gov. Frank E. Merriam o't Calif
ornia, as bombs burst in air, cut
three chains of gold, silver and cop
per with torches. He said:
“This brings nearer to realization
the vision of a great roadway from
■ Alaska and Northern ^Canada to
southernmost South America.”
President Roosevelt pressed a but
ton in tbe White House at Washing
ton to throw the span open.
At noon today when the span was
formally opened to .traffic, “500 -naval
planes soared overhead, and later 42 :
naval vessels of the United States
war fleet, fresh from six weeks man
euvers in Pacific waters, began
sweeping under the bridge at the
head of a 10-mile procession of fight
ing and commercial craft.
Pedestrians yesterday were allowed
to cross the bridge for the first time.
Two hundred and two thousand surg
ed across the structure to preview it.
