ard Browns Station as the Result OF q
New Bridge Across tho Monongahela-
Current Gossip and Sales.
FRIDAY, Sept 2.
A new bridge will span the Monongahela
river from Browns station to Homestead
before great while. Work has been COM
menced and will be rushed through as
quickly as possible. A charter was granted
recently to Captain s. S. Brown and several
other local capitalists for the improve
ment and engineers have been at
work preparing plans. From the
fact that the bridge will be the means Of
shortening the route to and from Home
stead distance of about 81 miles, 1t will be
known as "the Homestead short cut" The
structure, when completed, will resemble
the Seventh street bridge very much, and
will cost in the neighDorhood OF $500 900.
The Second avenue electric line will in all
probability run direct from the city via the
"short cut'' to Homestead, as negotiations
are on Tor right of way. With the compile
ton Of the bridge property located in Hazel
Homestead will naturally enhance in value
somewhat, and the line of travel to and
from the borough will undoubtedly run this
way.
