Ii appears that Grand avenue draw
 bridge was opened just 410 times dur ing the year 1907. This is rather diff
 ferent from what some people predicted when 1t was under process of construe- tion There were a few who threw cold water on the enterprise. and said the bridge would be used but little, and that it was throwing away money building a drawbridge there. It seems that last year 1t was opened on an av
 craze nearly one and half times for every day in the year. This year prom ises to give more business for this bridge, for another coal yard is being established in North Front street, big bins are being built, and the coal will come in by water, Kimberly avenue bridge was opened last year only one time more than was the Grand avenue bridge But both the Grand avenue and the Kimberly avenue bridges did very small business compared with the Quinnipiac bridge. which was opened 16,217 times. The Chapel street bridge was opened 3.4Si times. The increasing use of these bridges on the Quinnipiac Is another argument and one of the best that could he advanced in favor of deepening the channel of the Quinni- piac river. And while it. would seem that the project Is down and out so far as the present congress is concerned. it will be found yet to he q pretty lively corpse and this project will yet receive the consideration that it demands.
