Opposition to street railway on Melon bridge delays action

County Commissioner Harrison and Assistant County Attorney McNary prepare an injunction to block a City Railway franchise to lay tracks on the Melon bridge over Kansas avenue. They cite reports that tracks would weaken the bridge and harm the highway, noting engineers deemed it unsafe even before the flood. Farmers and residents north and south of the river oppose the plan. The county and city previously agreed to share bridge costs but barred railway use of the bridge, while a steel-bridge project is being considered. In New York, six people drown at pleasure resorts, including a man who died attempting to save his collie as they were swept under a barge.
