GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
PANORAMA
(By the Bridging of the Golden Gate Association)
AERIAL VIEW AT 3000 FEET ELEVATION— SHOWING METROPOLITAN AREA
Breath-taking in its majestic beauty, the greatest single span conceived in the mind of man gracefully soars over the mile wide portal of the Golden Gate. It will open a broad highway for delightful, educational travel and profitable commerce; promote the industrial growth of a great area; cement business relations and promote understanding and good will between San Francisco and the coastal counties of Northern California. This view, looking from the Marin shore toward San Francisco, shows the Golden Gate Bridge as it will look when
completed.
The History of Golden Gate Bridge
HE bridging of the Golden Gate has long been the dream of both layman and engineer. During the past sixty years many schemes have been brought forward. Each enjoyed a brief publicity and was then forgotten.
The first official step toward the present project was taken in August of 1919 when the San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution to initiate legislative action toward the forming of a Bridge District.
Joseph B. Strauss, now Chief Engineer of the District, upon invitation of M. M. O'Shaughnessy, City Engineer of San Francisco, undertook the study of a span that would meet all requirements and still be within rea
son from the standpoint of finances. His findings were such that, coupled with the enthusiasm shown by the San Francisco group, the interested representatives of the northern counties organized the "Bridging of the Golden Gate Association." Working harmoniously the various bodies succeeded in creating a Bridge District. The bill was passed by the California Legislature and became a law in 1923.
From 1923 to 1933 the project met with innumerable legal delays. Every court action resulted in a victory for the District and in January of 1933 actual construction was started.
The final design was for a single deck suspension
