The Proposed Railroad Bridge Over East Grand Avenue A Big Three Master on Her Trial Trip-He Went 10 Vermont 10 Marry Q C0uple-A Fcw Miscellaneous Items ofNews. Attorney Russell of the Annex, who has
 taken such warm interest in projecting a
 bridge over the Shore Line railroad at East
 Grand avenue, says that the bridge will pro-
 bably be begun next spring. For seven or
 eight years this bridge question has been agi-
 tated and finally Q bridge was ordered built.
 The court, however, modified its order rela-
 tive to the time in order to permit the Con-
 solidated road to improve it's track. Vice
 President Reed says that the Shore Line track
 on the curve that is to be bridged, will be
 pushed over some ten or fifteen feet toward
 the hill, thus making more gradual
 and less dangerous curve, and at
 the same time the tracks will
 be lowered two feet. The great objection to
 the bridge has been the steep grade that
 would be required to cross the track and ascend
 the hill-a grade that would practically cut
 off loaded teams from going east over the
 bridge; also the large attending expense for
 approaches. The changes contemplated by
 the railroad people will reduce this bridge
 grade four feet, thus rendering it a perfectly
 feasible undertaking. Such a bridge, it Is
 believed, will meet with the favor of most of
 the people, and a bridge at that point would
 assist materially in developing the unoccu-
 pied lands in the neighborhood.
