Overhead Bridges Are Fauored
Plan Is Meeting With Approval

Taking cognizance of the editorial
and article which appeared in The
Free Press last evening citing the
necessity of an overhead bridge on
the Third Avenue crossing of the
Northwestern and Omaha railways at
this city, a number Of prominent
business men of this city expressed
themselves as strongly in favor of
such a proposition.
Louis Salet, Jr., said that, after
reading the article he had come to
the conclusion that such an improve
ment would be fine thing for Man
kato. He thought that the matter
should be taken up at once with the
two railroads interested and see if
such a proposition is practical. In
his own mind 1t is. In the opinion
of Mr.. Salet the Third avenue eros
sing on the st. Peter road is one of
the most dangerous crossings in the
immediate vicinity of Mankato, and
owing to the immense traffic at that
point, he would Immediately have
the Civic and Commerce association
get BACK of the movement and get
the ball rolling.
Emil A. Boie, says that the pro-
position Of an overhead crossing
where the northwestern and Omaha
tracks cross Third avenue, meets
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1921-04-29

with his hearty approval. 1t would
eliminate a great danger to the drivs
ers of vehicles at that point.
Improvement ls Needed
A. ]. Veigel said that the improve
ment is badly needed, and undoubt-
eddy will have to be made at some
time. Mr.. Veigel thinks that the
proper time to make this improve
ment is when the road is being paved
under the Babcock plan, for at that
time in all probability part of the
expense will be borne by the state.
Joseph Busch said that he was at
once impressed with the practibility
of the plan when he read The Free
Press article. He would like to see
the improvement made in order to
eliminate the danger at that point.
Postmaster G. e. Wise, said that
if the plan is practicable, that the
overhead bridge should be built be-
fore some one is killed there. The
improvement will in all probability
cost a great deal, but compared to
the protection to human life there Is
no comparison. Postmaster Wise
also favored the proposition of En-
gtneer Joe Hruska for an under track
crossing north of Burdette on the
Northwestern, and an overhead eros
sing on the Lake Washington road
