MADISON STREET
BRIDGE AT LAST

Madison Streets fifth bridge to span
the river was opened to street car
traffic Wednesday by City Engineer
Alexander Murdock
The new bridge and viaduct ap-
proaches cost $1,850,O00, of which
$250,000 was paid by the Union Sta
ton company. Work started Decem-
Der 1, 1919, but was held up from
February %, to July 81, 1922 by lack
of funds
Each leaf, weighing 1000 tons, is
operated by seventy-five horse power
electric motors The bridge is 221
feet long, 72 feet wide and will be
protected with automatic signals
which prevent opening until they are
in operation
The first bridge, built in 1S49, was
of wood and provided by public sub
scription, according to Engineer
Thomas Pihlfeldt.
The second, built in 1857, was an
iron hand-operated swing bridge. The
tax levy for this aroused vigorous
protests.
This was replaced in 1875 by a
steam operated bridge which gave way
in 1891 to the structure, reinforced
in 1909 to provide for the increased
traffic.

The larger cars will be used to re-
place an equal number which have
travelled as high as $4,000 miles with
