Conowingo Bridge Destroyed by Fire In Harford County
The Conowingo Bridge spanning the Susquehanna between Cecil and Harford counties was burned late last night around 10:30. Firebugs saturated the wooden structure with kerosene and caused about three quarters of a mile of decking to burn, damaging lines of several major telegraph and telephone companies and crippling service while losses may reach 100000 to 125000 dollars. The bridge, built about fifty years ago, stretched a mile in length.
