Urban traffic shifts as Williamsburg Bridge rises in use
A city bridge commission report notes traffic moving northward with Williamsburg Bridge surpassing Brooklyn Bridge for passengers crossing the East River to Brooklyn. The bridge’s higher earnings reflect reduced demand for autos on the older span, while Bowery auto routes have become a major city highway. The piece weaves in civic reflections on contentment, simple living, and a critique of universal cures in medicine, citing quotes from David Swing and Dr. Woods Hutchinson. It closes with a travel advisory advocating Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for summer trips.

La Salle Seeks Funds to Dredge Channel for Swain Boats
A La Salle Commercial Association committee calls for appropriations to dredge a one mile basin and channel to the river. Captain Percy Swain favors La Salle as the riverhead for Swain steamboats but cites shallow, dangerous navigation after dark. Officials note a prior 15 thousand dollar state grant and seek additional funds from the governor to deepen and widen the basin for easier navigation.
