CREEK BRIDGE is STILL
OUT OF COMMISSION
Present Breakdown May Result in
the Concrete Abutments Being
Built at Once.

Men from Schantz & Eckert's ma
chine shop are still at work on the
Woodbridge creek bridge which went
out OF commission Saturday after
noon. AS a last resort, to temporar-
lily repair and hold up the north
abutment, the workmen are seA%ne
up few new planks, which wifi be
fastened by wire cables. Should this
plan fall, the long proposed concrete
wall will, in all probability, be con-
structed. This plan of permanently
repairing the structure, was decided
upon by County Engineer Morgan r.
Larson and a chief engineer of the
Public Service Corporation last fall
At the present time trolley cars are
running up to the bridge and the
passengers transfer.
AS far as the Public Service Cor
poration is concerned, they are high
ly in favor of having the structure
repaired permanently, and that done
at the earliest possible date.
