as the one which took place today.
No cheering took place until the Of

length of the bridge. The event will
be historic for Salem and one which
will go down in the annals of the
Capital City as being the most credit

prise ever known here.

Not n hitch marred the plans for the
official opening Of the new bridge and
the whole affair was the most COM

given them by the people Of Salem
and the large audience attending the
christening also manifested apprecia-
ton Of the event.
