for their consideration today, plans
and estimated cost Of a new bridge
over the Christiana river at or near

posed new bridge is the Scherzer
Roller Lift Bridge, forty-eight feet
wide. eight feet for walk on each side,
two trolley tracks, eight feet wide
each, and sixteen feet Of driveway IN
the middle. The opening for uaviga-
tion will be one hundred and twenty

work II has TO do, and Is a continuous
expense to the county. Mr.. Chandler
thinks the centre pier is liable 10 Civ,
