has been procession OF much enraged
autcmebilists into Belfast and the re-
pair shops have been busy fixing upl
broken springs and other damages The
trouble Gates from the fixing of the
draw in the lower bridge which spans

provides a considerable drop from the
main bridge and an auto going at any
rate of speed bounds almost clear and
comes down with q jolt that is quite
likely to break something Several mo-
torists whose cars We're damaged have
been threatening lawsuits, while the
city fathers grin and ask them if tEev
were not going faster than walk
