Mobile county to study bridge plan over McKay
A city hall conference backed by Mobile Clearing House and Mobile Chamber of Commerce tentatively adopted a plan by John T. Cochran to finance a bridge over McKay to Baldwin County. It uses six percent mortgage bonds with holders including three Mobile banks and investors. The city would build the approach and tolls could be kept until bond payoff, with the bridge eventually owned by Mobile County. A 30 day report by Cochran Towle and four local businessmen is ordered.
