Obstruction Claim Against Rock Island Bridge
The House Committee of Commerce reports the Rock Island Bridge across the Mississippi at Rock Island obstructs navigation. The report accuses the bridge company of violating agreements not to impede traffic, notes annual delays and extra costs to boats and cargoes, and cites a loss of lumber value. It finds the bridge not built to the approved plan and deems it a material and dangerous obstruction, while suggesting courts may restrain the issue without Congress action at present.
