chairman of the Bridge Committee of
the Board of Trade to head the civic

spokesmen for the trade body and the

line tax funds amounting to 1898. 600.
The level of the old bridge has been
raised somewhat and the new span
will have wider roadway and side
walks. The approa aches on both ends
Of the span are to be greatly improved.
