CHARLESTON SOLVED THE
BRIDGE PROBLEM.

I The city of Charleston is located
across the river from its principal rail
road line. the c. 4 o., but Charleston
has provided bridge that Is built
across the river and SO constructed
that II in fact forms part of the C..
IL o. passenger station. THe problem
Charleston had was more difficult than
ours. Nearly all the passenger travel
Ia and out of Charleston is over the
c. 4 q. line. To build a bridge TO the
station high enough to permit the
steam boats 10 pass under IT, the
bridge on the side of the river where
the city is located had to be elevated
about thirty feet above the front
street of the city. To reach this
bridge II was necessary to build u
flight Of steps from Kanawtla street
10 the bridge and to extend the ap.
rroach back a whole block by an In.
ciincd viaduct for teams and automo-
bies. .--... '.-. ,
AFTER crossing the bridge. entrance
is made Immediately into the, passen
ger station or ticket.o ce nom which
passengers pass by stairwass to. tho
tracks and!tiadn sheds below. .,-.
Fairmont. from Washington street
10 Merchant street has a natural 10.
cation for such u bridge without build
ing any staEways or, approaches OF
any kind and this would permit the
two railroads to pass under the bridge
with their tracks which could be
reached by stairway from the bridge
through the passenger stations just
MS it is done at Charleston.
A bridge ,ybuilt extending Jeilcr.
son street from Washington street to
Merchant street at the. intersection Of
Ferry street would give the b. & o.
an opportunity to build the new pas
senger station on the site of the pres.
ent freight depot, which ii is under
stood that it wants to do, and at the
same time bring the passenger station
approximately two squares closer to
the business section of the city.
Then to carry the picture little
further imagine u similar passenger
station on the opposite side of the riv
cr reached by the same bridge. the
convenience would be almost equal to
that offered by n union station.

THE NEW BRIDGE THE FINAL
STRAW.

The final straw In deciding whether
or not Fairmont is to have the Buck.
haiffion and Northern Railroad come
into this city over its own tracks on
the East side Of the river will be very
likely the possibility of having n SUIT.
able bridge across the river TO take
care Of the traffic. From those who
have been close in the councils OF the
New York Central officials II is learned
that while the route is being favorably
considered and would be satisfactory
to the railroad company, they consider
that It would be unwise TO spend from
million to million and half dol
lars to reach this city and then have
such q barrier In the way OF reaching
their line as the impracticablG manner
We now have Of crossing the river.
The business over the present
bridge and the handling of freight
from the B. & o. over the Parks ave.
rue route has now put traffic In such
congested condition that there wuuiu
be little hope OF handling the in.
creased business. that would be fur.
nished by the B. 4 N. If ii is built.
Whether the B. C n. Railroad is
built into Fairmont or not the bridge
question is one that must be met by
the citizens Of. .Fairmont 1t has al,
ready retarded the improvements
promised by the B, & o. and there is
no hope OF gettingsthc new freight de,
pot and new passenger station until
the bridge is bhilt to afford better
means of transportation across the
river.
