DESIRE BRIDGE
TO PARK DRIVE
To Connect Van Buren, Street
Structure and Span Rail-
road Bridge

The Park Commission is considering
the advisability Of erecting an over
head bridge across the Philadelphia
Baltimore and Washington railroad in
North Brandywine Park 10 connect the
new Van Buren, street bridge with the
park drive there
The present plans Of the commission
provide for a crossing OF the railroad
at grade 90 do which IL viii be neces~
sary to establish a five feet fall from
the north approach OF the Van Buren,
street bridge. To construct an over
head bridge across the railroad It would
be necessary to establish q five feet up
grade, which altitude could he contin=
ued to the park drive, making the as
cent from the Van Buren street bridge
no the drive gradual rather than alb
rupt. as VIII be the case should the
present grade crossing road be con-
structed.
It is pointed out that an overhead
bridge win he necessary at the point
in years to come. This being the case
many persons think q would be more
economical to build the bridge at once
as the Park Commission IS getting dirt
for the present road without any eN-
pense.

DOVER, April 17-Judge James Pea

yesterday that were instituted by Mrs.
Sarah Walls for the recovery Of her
-year-old daughter, Matte
Walls. who since she was 6 years Of
age has been with the family of VIII
liam c. Sullivan. Of Frederica.
AS the girl Is past legal age and has
the right to choose with whom she
cared to live. Judge Pennewill had no
other alternative but 10 allow her 10
decide.
without any hesitation she elected
10 live with her foster parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Sullivan. The parting OF the
mother and child, each Of whom had
not seen each other for many years
was affecting. There was an under
standing, however, that the mother
could visit her child whenever she de-
sired, and that the daughter could ID
likewise.
