IoOklyn bridge, in spite of the efforts
made to divert traffic from it, remains
at the daily rush hours the scene of the
worst congestion and the most inde-
cent crowding to be witnessed any
where in the world
Moreover, according to the view Of
these experts, bridges are out of date
for the purposes of rapid transporta-

Just what is to be done with these
expensive luxuries in the form of mag

they we're built, is difficult to say.

away TO the northward.
The only practical use made Of the
water from this spring is at Brice,
near where It jumps into the river.
There one-seventh of the. supply is
turned into a mill race to furnish pow

The water from the spring, in addi-
ton to being pure, is said to possess
medicinal qualities for which it has
some local reputation.
The plan Of utilizing the big supply
in Kansas City includes building a
pipe line from the spring to the city.
This line would cross nearly all of
Dallas county, for the spring is on its
eastern border, and all of Jackson
county, for the city is on its western
border. The counties between are
Johnson, Henry. st. Clair and Hlck-
ory. The pipe line would probably
extend over $50 miles.
