THOUSANDS PASS OVER

One funeral procession and sun
day-school parade are included in the
estimate of traffic that passed over
the new half-mile viaduct of the
Richmond, Henricc railway which was
thrown open to the public Sunday for
the first time.
Two employees of the company
standing at the East End counted ID, :
900 persons as they passed over the
bridge between the hours of A.
NJ. and noon. At the other end, TO-
600 persons were noted going east
ward during the same period. Be
tween noon and p. NJ. over $4,000
persons were counted at the east end
passing over and $4,000 at the west
end moving in the opposite direction.
Other Figures Recorded.
The following other estimates were
recorded: 1850 one-horse vehicles;
2,006 two-horse vehicles: $500 auto
mobiles; tow ambulances.
G.. Simms Bailey. general superin-
tendcnt of tine company, reports that
1000 persons passed him on the bridge
between 2 and 2:30 p. NJ.
Monday morning. when toll
charges became effective. traffic was
far below what 1t was Sunday and in
most instances the travel was moving
from the Church Hill toward the
city proper. Included in this num-
Der were school children and many
working girls. Milk wagons and SINH
lar vehicles also passed over in con-
siderable numbers.
Cross In Minutes.
Two young ladies, coming to work.
found that Ii took them eight min
utes to cross the viaduct and as each
paid only a cent to cross they say
that the bridge will doubtless divert
much street car travel from Church
Hill. Heretofore, they say, they have
been accustomed to use the cars. bu,
they will hereafter come to work by
the foot route.
Many delivery wagons as well as
vehicles of heavier draught, will
doubtless use the bridge route here
after in order to avoid the heavy pull
in crossing the valley to and from
