Abandons the Alton Bridge
The Burlington management will abandon use of the Alton Bridge across the Mississippi on January 1. The old contract ended November 1, 1902, but ran to December 31 by mutual consent while rates and terms for a new one were considered. The bridge company demanded large guarantees and higher operating costs, leading to the decision. Eight daily suburban trains between St. Louis and Alton and intermediate points will be removed from service.
