Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 61, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 October 1916 — BRIDGE IS NOT YET SHIPPED [ARTICLE]

BRIDGE IS NOT YET SHIPPED

Much Delay Attends the Repair of Hoover Slough Trestle. Notwithstanding the report that the material for the new bridge over the Howe ditch on the Rens-selaer-Remington road had been shipped last week, The Democrat learned Wednesday from a reliable source that it had not been shipped. The Rochester Bridge company was telephoned to Wednesday regarding the matter, we were told, andx said the material had not been shipped yet but they “would load it right out." This may mean that it will be loaded any time within the next two or three weeks and that the car may lay in the yards in Hammond a week or two before it is sent on here, and the bridge may be put in add this most important and much traveled road opened for travel along about the first of December if all goes well.
