Bridge over White River urged by Works Board
The city works board and city engineer favor a new bridge across White River from Thirtlethest to Riverside Park. They condemn the old wagon bridge as inadequate and call for a substantial modern structure like the W Washington Street bridge. Cost would depend on the city treasury, with county likely asked to help if funds are short. The Riverside bridge should replace the outdated crossing, and streetcars should not be extended onto it.
