SPAN OF EASTON- PHUUPSBimG BRIDGE TO BE OF STEEL IN* STEAD OF CEMENT
Due to the interest manifested by this entire community in the pro* po.-ed hill-to-hill bridge spannUiJ the Delaware between Easton and I'hUUpsburg, and becau-se of the effect this project has upon the immediate community; we take tbe liberty of quoting "Oirards Talk of the Day' published in the PbU** delphia Inquirer. Tuesday. July Uth. which reads tn part ai follow*:
"The Oovemment has boufht more than 7,000.0«» barrels ef cement for its various dams.
I suggest 1 place to put some ce* ment in Pennsylvania Close to the centre of the cement Industry.
In the Lehigh Valley, here the nrst American Portland cement was made some 60 years ago. there are a score of cement mills in an area about ten miles square.
Ea-ton—w'.iere the Leliigh weds the Delaware—ofTers a bully spot la which to inve-.t home-made cement.
Three railroad sy.-tem-. twj riv* ers, a couple of canals and a busy city all crowded into a .«pace a mile wide!
A wide bridge of concrete .should carry the State's Easton highway right acr.iss that complex area
I suijgest a name for it, too-" Oeorge Taylir Bridge—in honor tl Easton's Signer of the Oeclaratloa of Indepe!: fence.
That is in fact a heavily travel* ed crossroad- from New England and New Y^rk to the West mai S<JUthwe-t
Thus the Oeorge Tavlor Bridfl would be a natlot^ afTalr -a link to t!ie Key.stone SUle and beyond.
C^n::nental armies trax-eled that route More tons of freight pagg in a day through that narrow vallef than are ..«een in .«ome entire West* em States
A doorway to the kingdoms tt slat-, cement, coal and jieel!
An inrellectual kingdom, toi^ since three fine colleges. Lafayette, Lehigh and Muhlenberg, are In A spaoe of 20 miles "
According to local cimment, Oirard hit-s the nail squar-ly oa the head wl»en he says more cement should be u.oed in the center where it Is manufactured.
