Bridge Opening

The big paint job on the Doug las bridge will have it shining as it did when completed in 1885. Dedication. and opening of the bridge to traffic linking Douglas and J..neau was a day long re- memnered by folks on Gastineau channel.
 Efforts to secure the bridge construction was started by John w. Troy, then editor and publish CT of The Daily Alaska Empire, and the struggle was carried on over a long period of years before it was finally included in local road project. It was fitting that the bridge was built and dedi- cated when Troy was governor.
 The dedication took place on
 Sunday, Oct. 13, 1885, under clear blue sky as the sun glis-
 tened on the steel girders. The Empire issued special edition of 28 pages including a 4-page coi0red comic section.
 On Saturday evening, Oct. l2 before the dedication, coronation ball was held in the ElkS Ballroom honoring Queen Birdie (Jensen) of Juneau, and Queen Phyllis (Ed- wards) of Douglas, both of whom were to take prominent part in the big celebration planned by the two cities.
 At 1 o'clock on Sunday after noon, Juneau's parade started and at the same time Douglas staged it's part of the celebra- ton, both parades meeting in the center ef the bridge.
 Participating in the formal op- ening of the ceremony. was the Governors elder daughter, Mrs. Helen Monsen, who broke the bot tie of champagne on a girder of the bridge, Little Lucille Goetz cut the tape. Also in the dedica- tion party were I. Goldstein, may or of Juneau, A. E. Goetz, mayor of Douglas, R. E. Robertson, pres ident of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce and Arne Shudshift, president of the Douglas chamber.
 The paraGe of citizens of both towns joined and proceeded to the natatorium in Douglas where the gala event was concluded in grand style.
 The bridge, constructed at a cost of $225 ,0O0, has certainly re- paid itself in usefulness to the residents of Gastineau Channel and, by the way, engineer on the bridge was Angelo Ghiglione, now head of the Alaska Road Commis- sion.

 I may be wrong, but I have a recollection that he was present when the Alaska Railroad was completed and he participated in the ceremonies in the summer of 1922 when President Warren C.. Harding drove the gold spike that linked the northern and southern sections of the railroad built along the route of the old Denali Trail. Anyway, if I am wrong in this particular, have told of the spike driving and who accomplished it..
 Let it be said that Gen. Steese has not only seen the beginnings of the wide spread program Of transportation facilities in Alaska but he has also had the rare for tune to realize their development.
