The drawbridge at the end of the
south causeway has been repaired
and the road leading into the town
has been reopened for the use of
traffic for several weeks. There was
talk of closing that road after the
du Pont Boulevard was built but
largely through the efforts of E. F.
Melvin, the matter was reconsider
ed. The citizens living in that part
of the town are especially appreci-
atiVe as they seemed rather isolated
with no outlet to the south. 1t is al
so a great convenience to farmers
who wish to come to town.
