Should material sufficient become

There are many interesting stories

amusing and some sad, but the privi

Incidentally. it may be mentioned
that the telephone exchange was to

They will establish a camp for their

the state road system Of Florida. This
road extends from Pensacola to Jack

The bridge was designed by Mr.. James

been awarded to the Converse Bridge

The bridge, as proposed and as
shown in the above cut, will consist
of seven arch spans and the bascule
lift span. The present contract calls
for the construction of five reinforced
concrete arch spans and the bascule
