Says Another Range Line Bridge Needs Reconstruction.

The current issue of the Remington Press says: “There is another bridge on the Rensselaer to Remington road that should be replaced, and with a good concrete bridge, road wide. It’s just this side of the Catholic cemetery, and while not a big affair nor a very expensive one to build, is none the less important. As it stands it is a narrow, one-team wooden affair in a road that is at least three or four cars wide. This makes it all the more dangerous, as strangers traveling at night along a wide strip of road are hot looking for a narrow speck of a bridge and had they come onto it suddenly there is danger and especially if another car is met in its immediate vicinity. This should be looked after before some driver piles his machine up in the deep ditch on the. west end of the bridge and kills one or more persons.
