To HAVE CONCRETE
BRIDGE ON LESTER

On motion of Commissioner Beck
the administrative board yesterday
directed the city engineer 10 take legal
steps toward compelling the inter
ested railroads 10 repair the Lester
street bridge.
This is a wooden bridge, and has
been condemned by the board.
That body has directed the South
ern Railway company to place a CON
crete bridge over Lester street at the
point which intersects Lester and
Dock streets.
Officials Of the road stated TO the
hoard yesterday that they felt the
bridge was safe as II stood.
The length Of the bridge is less than
thirty feet The city engineer will to-
day look over the ground, and II IS
likely that the Southern Railway com
panv will comply with the suggestion
of the administrative board and erect
a concrete bridge where there is now
a wooden structure.
