COUNTY VS..
COMPANY

Who should strengthen Washing
tod Street bridge, the county or the
Wilmington City Railway Companyp
This Is the question that is now be-
ing gone over in the minds Of the mem.
bers of the Levy Court. The experts
who have gone over the structure re.
port that it is strong enough to &C.
commodate the passage of pedestrians
and vehicle traffic, but before trolley
cars could use it with safety, new
floor beams would have to be put In.
The Levy Court will take some action
on the matter tomorrow morning
and 1t Is probable that the cost OF
strengthening will be put on the rail-
way Company.
Several members argue, if the bridge
is strong enough to carry out the pur.
pose for which it was built, what
right have we to fix it to accommo.
date any corporation
The finances of the County are low
and the body does not see its way
clear for the expenditure.
