THAT THIRD BRIDGE.
A STRONG EFFORT TO MAKE
III GO.
Parties Interested In the Erec
tiOn OF u Bridge at Lin
coin Street.

For the past few years, there has
been much said about the necessity of
third bridge to span the Cohansey,
at point opposite Lincoln street and
River street, or north of it in the Sec
ond ward
Some prominent gentlemen of the
Third ward, have been mildly agita-
ting the question for some time, but
now these men, backed by others, are
to push ahead in the matter, deter
mined, if possible, to have the struc-
ture erected before great while.
Those interested in the Third ward
side have levelrd off and filled in pro-
perty on their side. and they wish that
the work might proceed.
One of these gentlemen will after a
month rolls around, 90 in the lower
part of the county and get signatures
to petition praying the Freeholders
to build it. The arguments used in
favor of it is that the Southern portions
of the Second and Third wards are too
great distance from each other, and
the distance travelled over the Broad
street bridge to the extreme South of
the two wards, is very great. Then
there is another objection raised to
South Pearl street, in favor of the
bridge, on account Of such bad cross
ings over railroads, and the difficulty
of farmers urging spirited horses by
the railroad yard. The new bridge, its
projectors say would allow them to
cross over and be rid of all this diff
Guilty.
Some OF the earnest supporters of
the bridge, claim that if the County
does not build a bridge, there will be
one erected by the West Jersey Rail
road Company. which will permit cars
and engines to run over the Cohansey
to the factories and business places
along Water street. 1t is claimed that
such a bridge would not be what the
people want, and they should build
one of their own before the Company
takes the first step.
1t is more probable that whatever
the opinion of the people may be, the
Board of Freeholders will have to
wrestle with the question, and that be-
fore the sessions are very far advanced.
