Hershey's bowstring arch plan for Capitol Park bridge
Engineer Linton M. Hershey proposes a twin bowstring arch bridge at State street merging with Walnut and North streets to shield freight yards from view, preserve Capitol Park aesthetics, avoid heavy damages, and keep railroad views open. The plan limits height to about thirty feet, preserves streetcar lines, and adds artistic light standards and balustrades while offering a passenger plaza and direct routes for traffic.

The city considers a proposed ordinance for jitney regulation including a $50 yearly license fee, a $5,000 bond, interior lighting, driver licenses, and identification. critics argue this ensures public safety and fair taxation, while opponents fear overregulation. The question remains whether jitneys should face the same controls as established transit.
