Opposing Bridge Beside the City Clash Over Mississippi Crossing

A local critique rebuts a belated medieval critic who would abolish all Mississippi bridges. It argues the bridge project will boost travel and freight between east and west, mocks opposite views, and condemns the Herald for shifting stance. It details four main objections to the plan and defends city guarantees.

City to control railroad bridge tolls under new ordinance

The proposed ordinance contemplates city control over tolls until control reverts to the Bridge Company, with options to indemnify by tolls or open the bridge to public use. Objections are dismissed, a $5,000 survey appropriation is dropped, and dual bridges may counter monopoly risk. If city wishes to own tolls, it can buy the bridge at cash value or construction cost plus interest.

Quincy Opposed Bridge Over River to Save Freight Rates

An outspoken voice argues against building a river bridge at Quincy urging preservation of natural river transport. He warns bridges favor rail monopolies, condemns ostentatious schemes, and predicts no revenue from a cross river span while highlighting local apathy and the futility of public funds for a footpath and wagon bridge. He mocks proponents as Don Quixote figures and notes ferry and ferryboat revenue, flood risks, and lack of demand from West Quincy.

Pope condemns secret orders in America to bishops
