The Mayo's Bridge and Land Company
have had a force Of men at work on
Mayo's bridge ever since the thaw in
the river, and have about put the struc-
ture in as good condition as it was before
the recent and disastrous storm came
The bridge has been used for about a
week for pedestrians, but has not been
open to the street-cars and very heavy
travel. 1t win be ready to-day, probably
certainly, by tomorrow, for all travel,
and the cars of the Hull-street line will
doubtless resume their trips over the
bridge, and 10 Richmond by Fourteenth
street. Since the bridge was rendered
unsafe, the Hull-street cars have been
going to Richmond by the way Of Seventh
street and the Free bridge, using part
Of the tracks of the Perry-street line.
The people have been much pleased with
the arrangement, and the service has been
the best Manchester has ever had.
