island passed the house of represen-
tatives at Washington yesterday
This announcement is welcome one
here. 1t will now be necessary for
the bill to pass the senate and re-
ceite the presidents inspection, af-
ter which the Tri-City Railway COM
pany may proceed with its proposed
improvements at the up-river island.
President Porter of the public utili-
ties companies said yesterday that
there is no detailed information as
yet regarding the new bridge at
Watertown. The desire is to have
a yiaduct over which vehicles of all
sorts in addition to streetcars, may
pass. The railway company is in
terested in passage of the bill be-
cause it owns the greater part Of
Campbell's island and has conceived
the idea of making that resort even
more popular than in the past. Lack
of a wagon-way to the island has
caused great inconvenience in sea-
sons past.

meeting of the city council a reso-
luton was offered by Alderman

people. though residents of the bluff
