Burlington Giv es Carload of Cinders for River Highway
Burlington officials donated a carload of cinders to West Quincy to repair the road from the river bridge south to the ferry landing. Overseer Whittaker will distribute the cinders, with labor costs only for his team. The road had become nearly impassable after rains, hampering trade and fishing access to Quincy, but the repair aims to restore it to first class condition temporarily before the new levee construction renders it obsolete.
