TO BRIDGE INDIAN RIVER

Fort Pierce, March Am ambition
long entertained by Fort Pierce folk
for a beach resort on the peninsula
across the Indian River here, will be
realized in the next two years, if the
initial step towards bridging the
river, about a mile and a half wide,
taken by DR.. c. G. Traub, recently, is
carried to the end. The city council
granted DR.. Traub's application for a
permit to build the bridge. Under the
terms of the permit he has eighteen
months to begin construction and an
other eighteen months to complete
the project. DR.. Traub expressed the
opinion, however, that he would be
ahead of the stipulations by six
months each way and that he hoped
to have the bridge ready for service
within two years.
