Builder says Point Ellice bridge unsafe and overrated

An interview with John McMullen of the San Francisco Bridge Company criticizes the Point Ellice bridge. He notes it was never designed for car traffic, deems it a combination timber and iron structure, and says after thirteen years it should have been condemned. He recalls heavy English tram cars and recounts objections to vehicles crossing the bridge in 1891. A provincial official, Gore, supposedly opposed the car use, but McMullen doubts the recollection. A mass meeting of the M and M L P A is set for Saturday at 10 a.m. with important business on the agenda.
