OLD WOODEN BRIDGE
STILL DANGER SPOT.
East Orange Officials Have Not
Heard from Lackawanna Re-
garding Maple Avenue.

Unless officials of the L-ackawanna
Railroad make some effort to repair
the wooden bridge over the tracks at
Maple avenue, East Orange, it is prob
able that the city officials will have the
bridge condemned
The bridge at present is in a shape
and has caught fire several times from
sparks. The most recent fire occurred
a few days g and a section of the
bridge in the centre was blazing when
members of Engine Company No. 2 ar
rived. Boys watching trains leaving
the Grove street station have been in
the habit of kicking out panels along
the side of tibet bridge and found it
an easy task. 1t is feared that some
day a child may fall through one of
the many side holes.
A communication has been sent to
President Truesdale. of the Lacka-
wanna, by City Clerk Lincoln e. Row
ley, at the instance of the City Coun-
ell, requesting hat a steel bridge be
erected, but a reply has yet to be re-

The duck hawk is a cosmopolitan
bird. II appears in slightly varied
form In most parts OF the world. The
extent of its range has given Il the
name of the wandering falcon. IL is
true falcon. and In its life II typifies
nature at its widest. and II may be
