Now Mr. Mayor About This Bridge
City hall crowd debates the Westbrook Bridge fate as Mayor Magaha and Aldermen clash over extending Carroll Park Way and a new upstream bridge. Engineer Whiteford proposes linking Westbrook and Watkins Acres to Mercer Place Rosemont Avenue while Magaha warns of a veto if the bridge stays at the old wooden span. Local attorney Rollins laments unresolved status and vows not to revisit the issue.

Lawmakers Vote To Build Westbrook Span After Heated Meeting
The Board of Aldermen approved a plan to connect Fairview and Magnolia to West Second Street and extend to Rosemont Avenue, despite strong opposition from Fairview supporters who favor a Westbrook bridge. Aldermen Renn Shipley Munshower led the amended motion amid hours of debate and local complaints about a throughway. The vote was three to two, with critics arguing the path harms the Fairview area while proponents called the project the sensible option.

Defense bill trims and adds military hardware spending
Senate consideration follows House in approving extra 563.7 million for two more RS70 recon strike aircraft while blocking a 134 million push for nuclear powered subs. The measure would cut overall funding by 905 million from House totals, keeping the bill at about 14.95 billion. In Nevada, a general strike at the test site halted operations with 2,700 workers, as telegrams were sent to unions to end the action.
