The LOWER BRIDGE. The question Of
filling in the lower bridge as proposed by
members of the City Council is quite gener-
ally received with favor, the only objection
offered being that contining the flow of the
tide to space of 400 feet, where it now has
| 1900, will make too strong a current at the
wharves. This can, no doubt, be overcome
by proper arrangement of the open
spaces in the bridge and the change be an
| improvement rather than detriment to the
| harbor. Property owners on the west side
| are taking the initiatory steps to make d
road along the shore between the bridge
and the depot. A road-bed is made along
| the shore six or eight rods from the terminus
of Common street, by dumping the coal
ashes and other rubbish into the basin west
of the railroad track. and tits being extended
every day. Land owners long the shore
would be greatly benefited by such a road, =,
and several bad hills would be avoided.
Another improvement suggested is to build
a road over the easy grade from the eastern
end of the bridge to a point near the "mill
road and thus save the McCrllis hill and
for the travel from Swanvile, Monroe, etc,
! that and the Stevens hill, both of which are
| long and steep.
