rumor which has been freely eircu-
lated, to the effect that we are not

The work of experimenting the
construction and erection is in the
hands of the Osborn Engineering

pany whose bridge engineers are
second to none in this country.
Any rumors or statements con-
trary to the above facts are with
out foundation.
While unexpected delays have
occurred, incident to the great de
mand upon the capacity of the
bridge builders, we can assure
those interested in the property Of
the Chancery Hill Company that
the bridge will be completed dur
ing the present summer.
