NOT FINISH
BRIDGE THIS YEAR

A letter has been received from
the district engineer OF the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company.
by County Engineer Grub. stating
that every effort is being made by
the company TO finish work on the
overhead bridge at Lumbrook on the
road TO Newark.
It is not likely that the bridge
will be constructed sufficiently to
allow the new stretch of road to be
opened this year unless the railroad
company speeds up the work faster
than II has the past two months. and
the Levy Court may take some ac-
ton TO prod the railroad company
to rush work at Lumbrook.
