For a full week official delegations | of foreign nations, the massed U. S. | battle fleet, representatives of Western states and cities and a host of entertainers will participate in a mighty display of pageantry celebrating opening of the gigantic span which took $33,000,000, four years, and 10 lives to build. The Golden Gate bridge is a sing deck suspension bridge, the longest | single clear span in the world. It is 645@ feet in length from end to end, and 4200 feet center to center of piers. The span is three times the length of Brooklyn bridge in New York, and 700 feet longer than the | greatest single span ever built to date, the George Washington Me- | morial bridge across the Hudson | River at New York.
Stands 250 Feet Above Bay
The Golden Gate bridge, surpassed only by the San Francisco- | Oakland Bay bridge—a scant two | miles distant — crosses over San | Francisco Bay waters at a height of 250 feet and connects San Francisco by highway directly with the redwood empire of northern Cali-| fornia. It offers a shorter route to all points of the Pacific Northwest. It is the first: span across the world-famed channel whose beauty enchanted Gen. John C. Fremont, Western pathfinder, and caused him to call it ““Chrysoceros”’—the Golden Gate. The “gate” is the outermost portal to San Francisco Bay, second largest port in the United States. Hencgforward the ships of the world whicH call at San Francisco harbor will sail underneath the bridge. The Golden Gate bridge fiesta will start the mobilization in San Francisco of numerous spectacular “pilgrimages” from Canada, Mexico and Western states.
Old West to Live for Day
Arriving by airplane, automobile caravan, covered wagon, motorcycle and horseback, the. pilgrimages will depict dramatic phases of the development of the “wild west” —its conquest, the discovery of gold in San Prancisco, the war with Mexico and the interesting development of Spanish California into statehood. - Gigantic = lighting effects never before attempted on a citywide scale will add a blaze of color to the spotlights of 150 United States battleships anchored in San Francisco Bay, and the lights of both bridges. . Ships representing almost every naval power in the world will augment the U. S. fleet in an impressive maritime display. U. S. Army and Navy air forces will participate in service maneuvers. | The 16th Canadian Scottish Regimental Band and the i Vancouver | Kitsilano Boys Band will lead the Canadian delegation. - Washington's cavalcade will be headed by Governor Clarence D. Martin and Mayor John F. Dore, of Seattle.
