P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 401
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
This “cheerful and elegant piece of ground,” as Dr. Dwight so truly describes it, had only been kept from market by the want of means of access. A new foot-bridge was built, connecting this place with the City of Bridgeport, and a public toll-bridge which belonged to us was thrown open to the public free. We also obtained from the State Legislature a charter for erecting a toll-bridge between the two bridges already existing, and under that charter we put up a fine covered draw-bridge at a cost of $16,000 which also we made free to the public for several years. We built and leased to a union company of young coach makers a large and elegant coach manufactory, which was one of the first buildings erected there, and which went into operation on the first of January, 1852, and was the beginning of the extensive manufactories which were subsequently built in East Bridgeport.

白话
这块被德怀特博士称为“宜人而优雅”的地，之前只是因为交通不便才没上市。我们先修了一座人行桥连接布里奇波特市，又把属于我们的收费桥免费开放。还从州议会拿到特许，在两座桥之间再建一座收费桥，花一万六千美元建了座漂亮的带吊桥的廊桥，也免费开放了好几年。我们还建了一座大型马车制造厂，租给一群年轻马车匠组成的联合公司，1852年1月1日开工，成了东布里奇波特后来大批工厂的开端。核心是：先修路桥、降门槛，再引产业，人气和地价自然起来。
