Lake Drain bridge repaired for safe travel on Grandview Road
The Lake Drain bridge on Grandview road was made safe by recent repairs. M F Underhill, who supervised the work, says the bridge is now safe and could support a traction engine but will not last long due to green gum lumber. It should endure at least nine months, allowing time for electric road officials and commissioners to discuss a joint railroad and wagon bridge to save money. Von Hippel, railroad company chief engineer, was at the site last week to take measurements for the cost estimate.
