Temporary Structure to Replace Bridge That Collapsed at Oneonta Construction of a temporary bridge on the Albany highway south of Oneonta, to replace the structure which collapsed Saturday, will be started as soon as possible, Charles M. Edwards, district engineer of the Slate Department of Public Works, said today.

There may be some delay in construction of the temporary bridge, however, as the state must condemn the structure which collapsed before construction work can be started, he added. Collapse of the bridge has created a complicated situation, as it is on a section of the road that will be abandoned when the Pony Karm railroad grade crossing is eliminated. The proposed elimination of 1 crossing has been before the Public Service Commission for two years, but because of opposition of residents in the vicinity no action has been taken. Whether the state will construct a new bridge at this point in view of the proposed elimination proceedings has not been determined, Edwards said. Two detours are available to motorists.

One to the south of the bridge through West Oneonta is a dirt road and Is In very bad condition, Edwards said, advising motorists to turn off at L'nadilla and go through Franklin, Davenport Center, Davenport, Jefferson, Summit, Rlch-mondville and back to route 7 at Coblesklll.

Phone 2376 arner 5 Court Street George Jeannides, 37, of 1408 North street, Endicott, who was rescued from the swirling waters of river Saturday afternoon, after he had been carried along by the current for more than a half hour, is under observation at the Binghamton State hospital. Dr. George S. Lape. acting city health officer, who ordered Jeannides taken to the institution, said that he believes the man, while suffering from hallucinations climbed the railing of Court street bridge and fell into the Chenango river because he was unable to resist the mesmerism of the rushing water.

Hundreds of Saturday afternoon shoppers were in the vicinity when Jeannides fell. The desk lieutenant at police headquarters was besieged with calls In the next few minutes. Then a weird race began as Jeannides was swept down the Chenango to the Su-quehanna river, with Bcores of automobiles, led by police and fire bureau cars, racing through streets leading to the river, their sirens and horns shrieking. The police ambulance reached Memorial Bridge as Jeannides floated towards it. A heavy rope was thrown ever the railing, one end trailing in the water.

Jeannides fought his way to it, grasped it and hung on while Patrolman John M. Prekopa and James K. Sexton of Pine street, were lowered on other ropes. Just aa his rescue appeared to be a matter of seconds, however, his grasp on the rope weakened and again the current bore him away. And the race was on again.

Police and private cars and a fire bureau squad wagon roared away to vantage points on both sides of the Susquehanna river below its junction with the Chenango. The police ambulance stopped at the foot of Laurel avenue and policemen manned two boats. Meanwhile the victim floated by, still struggling and yelling, apparently but little weakened by his prolonged struggle in the icy water. Patrolmen William Ford and Prekopa took the lead and soon overtook Jeannides, despite a broken oar. He was hauled Into the boat by Prekopa and held fast while i'ord paddled to shore.

Jeapnides, still conscious, was rushed to the City hospital by Detective Harold F. Fitzgerald. An examination revealed that he had not taken any water in his lungs and was suffering only from exposure. After Jeannides had been at the hospital for a short time, he began to talk incoherently. Dr.

Lape was called and after questioning Jeannides said that the man apparently was suffering from delusions of persecution. He then ordered his commitment to the State hospital for observation. He has been employed In the heel department of the Endicott Johnson Corporation in West Endicott and is known familiarly by his fellow workmen aa "John George." This was the name he gave at the City hospital. Two Binghamtonians File Petitions in Bankruptcy fipcciol to The Binghamton Press Vttra.

Future plans of development of Agfa. Ansco corporation, it was learned today, will be outlined tonight before the Common Council by Horace W. Davis, president of the organization which has become affiliated with the American I. G. Chemical corporation, representing the resources of the leading chemical and Industrial interests in this country and Germany.

Mr. Davis indicated today that the development program planned by the board of directors is extensive and probably will mean a great deal to Binghamton from an industrial standpoint. He declined, however, to give the nature of the plans, declaring that he wished his announcement before the council to be first It also was learned that at tonight's session of the council Mr. Davis will extend an Invitation to the aldermen and other city officials to inspect ihe new film plant recently completed, and which is expected to reach full production by July 1. It also is understood that a dinner will be given at the plant in connection with the inspection visit and the officials of the corporation will discuss in detail the various phases of the development program.

The inspection visit and dinner are expected to be held sometime this week. Several controversial matters are expected to make tonight's council meeting one the longest in several weeks. There will be a public hearing at o'clock on the proposed widening of Wall street at the sacrifice of parts of Tyler Park. A substitute ordinance which directs this action was introduced last Monday night by Alderman Charles J. Pier-son, chairman of the committee on highways and lighting.

-One ordinance proposing the widening of Wall street by cutting a section of Tyler Park was adopted earlier by the council and then withdrawn from the mayor as the result of vigorous protest by members of the Civic club against mutilation of the park. Pierson's substitute ordinance calls for tho use of only a small part of the park in the widening program, but members of the Civic club have declared that they will protest against the use of any part-of the "only beauty spot in the center of the city." Mrs. Charles D. Squires, chairman of the Civic Club Tyler Park Protest committee, is now in Atlantic City, but Mrs. Oscar Warner, president of the club, said today that a delegation of club members will be present at the council meeting to crntlnue their protest against use of the park for such a purpose.

Mrs. Warner said the delegation will hold a short Ression preceding the council meeting to map out a plan of A show-down also is anticipated on the ordinance sponsored by Alderman Dibble which directs the condemnation of a bathhouse site on Conklin Flats. Action on this ordinance has been checked by various hMernien at past meetings.

owner of tho site, by which the land could be purchased and condemnation would be unnecessary. It is expected that Hidook will report the results of his negotiations to his colleagues tonight and that final action on the Dibble ordinance will be taken. The Joint committee on finance and city buildings and property is expected to report on the plans and specifications for the addition to the Woodiow Wilson school, which have been approved by the Board of Kducation, and which were submitted last week to the council with a certificate of necessity for 1300,000 to carry out tho work. Ordinances directing the construction of sanitary sewers and the repav.ng end redressing of several city streets also will be introduced. Order ofSerpent Will Meet Wednesday Night Tulnian T-air, 10.
