bate matters and other items in

Burned Bridge

ALBANY, N. Y, May 20 (P).-
Mainline New York Central pas
senger trains today crept at 10
miles an hour across a Hudson
River bridge charred in a spec
tacular fire.
The 85-year -old Maiden Lane
bridge was out of service for nine
hours yesterday after flames
broke out in wooden cribbing un-
der the center section and licked
upward to scar ties and buckle
track.
The cause of the fire, which
caused damage estimated unoffi-
cially at $150.000. was not known.
Maintenance crews had been at
work with acetylene torches and
rivets, and a Central official
theorized that a hot rivet might
have fallen into the oil-soaked
framework.
Trains reached Albany station
by a nearby freight bridge dur
ing the fire and while crews were
replacing ties and rails. The
bridge was reopened last night
after railroad and Public Serv-
ice Commission engineers re-
ported the span safe. Trains were
limited to 10 miles an hour on
/ the bridge.
