"On behalf of the Northern Suburbs, I

vrlsh to express the gratification we feel in

participating in this historic and momentous

ceremony," said Alderman H. L. Primrose,

Mayor of North Sydney. "It is tile realisation

of over a century's agitation and eöoit. We

rejoice that we are now directly linked with

tlie great city of Sydney, and we hope to share

with it the benefits which must result from

ready communication. From to-day on, a

continuous concourse of people and tiafitc will

flow between these kindred territories, bringing

about increased commerçai development and

activity. Vast tracts of country, yet un-

touched, will be opened up, ana new resi-

dential districts created, thus adding to tile

wealth of the community. The beauties and

advantages of the northern beaches will be

made accessible. The time requited for daily

travel will be considerably reduced, adding toi

the health and leisure of the people. I

"This bridge is a monument alike to our

enterprise and versatility. It has been made

to harmonise with its environment, and does

not impair the use of the harbour. It would

seem that nature, when blessing us with this

beautiful harbour, intentionally divided these

two shores for the purpose of testing the crea

Uve faculty of man. If that was the reason,

mun has pioved equal to the test, both In

conception and execution, and we pay our

homage to engineers and operatives alike. We

ure proud of their respective achievements."
