new APPROACH
SAVES BRIDGE
and CITY PARK

The Levy Court will erect the new
bridge across the Christiana river.
It will be built on the original site
selected, but ;he western approach
has been changed from Fourth
street to Third street. Consequently
the approach will not go across the
Church street park and all trouble
between the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and the city authorities
over the question is not over.
The Levy Court and the directors
Of the Street and Sewer Department
yesterday afternoon agreed to use
Third street as the approach and take
only a strip OFF the park. This will
amount to about twenty-five feet at
Bridge street and running to nothing
at Church street The Street and
Sewer Department at once will begin
proceedings to condemn the land for
the approach. In the meantime the
Levy Court will proceed TO get bids
for the bridge
Consulting Engineer Greiner has
prepared the plans and specifications
for the bridge and the builders will
be asked for bids in the near future.

The stage hands wanted an agreement
that was equitable for the men as well

Under the old system Of contracts
he continued. stage hands might make

and II when the play was on the road
the star was sick or would not play for
some reason. the stage hands would hc

sand or two thousand miles from their
homes hut their idleuess was not their
fault and though the contract might not
specify anything covering such a contin-
gcncy. the men should in all fairness be-
paid for this enforced idlen"ss. We will
insist on their being paid for II in any
future contracts"
on behalf of the managers II Is said
that the proposed agreement would nc I'M
