Concrete wall work starts on Fillmore street bridge
Plans for concrete abutments and five separate spandrels for the two overcrossing tracks on Fillmore street Davenport describe machinery mixing large quantities of concrete and rapid progress after the dirt is removed next week. The new bridge will widen the roadway to twice the old span, with towers and girders matching other city crossings. A separate note recalls a Leesville alert where Dr King’s New Discovery for consumption aided a dramatic recovery, praised for throat and lung troubles.
