Traction Suit Bluff Over Stone Ave Bridge Cut
Mayor Gill says Col Cavanaugh of the war department agreed to cut the Stone avenue bridge to aid navigation while Maj E J Dent disputes the authority. Corporation Counsel Caldwell notes a possible city suit by the traction company for loss of a long-time franchise, though Judge Moore says suit unlikely as tracks were already removed and the government may order removal. Chairman Erickson cites a council resolution opposing traction crossovers and delaying the bridge cutting to settle city traction differences.
