...thousands of people who will want to use it on special occasions in the fall, but to prevent any unnecessary delay in opening the bridge when it is finished. The wisdom of such action cannot be doubted for a moment; there may be some question of funds, though we think that two or three months interest is not too much to pay to avoid the inconvenience which will result if the pavement is not renewed at this time...
