Bridges over our East river are vastly
more expensive, but no great outlay for
approaches will be required in Cape
Breton 1t may be predicted safely that
the problem of dealing with huge
masses of pushing, jostling people at
either end of the Nova Scotia structure
will not overwhelm the local authors
ties for many a generation. They are
fortunate.

the Jim Crow car is to get rid of the
Jim Crow negro. Ii could use 100000
bars of soap on the unWashed negroes
that travel on trains and hang around
