than they now do.
The Manufacturers.
The steel was made by the River

900 pounds of 1t. Several pieces are
exceedingly large. Mr.. jenkins. rep.

original structure which now stands
lis not large enough to Withstand the
great amount of tratic which is daily
hauled over it, and when the addt-

structure it will be found to be a great

This is NO small piece of work, for
