The traffic over the bridge will be heavy and. to handle It properly, w will be obllKed to route the cars by a loop or loops.

It would make virtually no difference to us which way we route the cars, as to whether It Is back over Sixth street or another street farther bark from the river, so far aa tracks Is concerned; It Is only for the purpose of adequate handling of the traffic that Sixth street might be selected, ss the travel to date Is In that vicinity rather than farther west."
