Bridge Span Completion Marks Historic Milestone
A massive cantilever bridge on the Lawrence River was completed after a risky lifting operation using hydraulic jacks and pontoons. The 150 foot main span weighing 6 000 tons was set in place, ending a build sequence that had faced disaster in earlier attempts. The project, tied to a Halifax to Wirasipos route, will reduce travel time and cost about 84 000 dollars, with final detailing to follow.

Death May Develop Into Murder Case In Dunkirk
Sept 20 report on the death of ward Perkins of Versailles following a Buffalo and Lake Erie Traction line incident in Sheridan. Authorities pursue a thorough investigation to determine if foul play or accident caused the death. Family questions the theory as to the death being accidental while noting Perkins left farmhouse with $0.85. The motorman says Perkins was the sole alighting passenger at Dean’s Corners Ink. Perkins was not known to abuse alcohol and was of exemplary character. Lack of trolley traffic for an hour strengthens the doubt about the accident theory.
