Supplemental Siitrextiuti
We suggested yesteiday that the ap
proaches to Sixth street bridge be wade
as good as possible, in view of the
fact that the new bridge on Fourth
street cannot be completed until De
cember, and this suggestion has been
supplemented by a gentleman who has
occasion to frequently cross there in a
vehicle with one that the bridge itself
be boarded up on the sides and the im
mediate approach to R on either side
be made more secure. As it is it is
simply dangerous It is open- at the
sides and there is nothing to prevent
horses crossing there seeing, as welt as
hearing, the locomotives and trains
which frequently pass under it. Better
attend to it now than wait until after
an accident has occurred.
