should be in condition to give the travelling
public this much needed improvement. The
| present structure is too narrow and shonld two
top vehicles meet on the bridge it is more than
| likely they would become fastened in the
boards on the sides and cause damage. The
bridge has been erected for years and if still
| safe its durability is uneQualed in the country.

There has been a great effort made by the
Baker family in this country to get possession
of what they thought was property belonging
to their ancestors located in the city of Phil
adelphia and elsewhere. 1t is now reported
that there is $41 500 900 due them in Germany
and also that they have legal claim to $780,
900, 600 of Philadelphia property. We do not
