Here is another evidence OF the
progress of wilmington. We are not
only the richest city per capita in
the United States but one Of the most
progressive. Only a few years ago
when our people wanted to go to the
south side, they had to go by way Of
Market street bridge, but you see
how the south side has grown. with
the old bridge in use, which has just
been discarded; and now with this
magnificent structure just complete,

side but to the city at large. as IL is

officials IN charge for the good work
they have given us.
I'VE now wonder how we managed
so long with the old bridge. But wher
you realize that our population has
been increased nearly 10000 since
