SInca the large demonstrative meeting held In the Russell "street Woodmen hall lapt week by the North East Side Improvement association in the inter ests of better transportation across tho river, it Is believed that there has been a great gain of sympathy enlisted on the side of tha north east stders in their project of building a 12.000.000 bridge across tha river below the steel bridge.

Tne big meeting was one or the larg est and most enthuelustlc ever held in any part of the east side for the our. pose of pushing some needed Improve ment. Tha sentiment was unanimous In favor of tbe high bridge, though some speakers confessed that when they came they were not In favor f such a bridge aa had been proposed, but were convinced oy me argument pre aented.

The fact waa brought out that the city was trying to be a city with the same fa. cllltlea as thOBe provided In the earlier years. s The west eiders Dresent wnra alan convinced that the west side needs the onage worse man tne east side; for, with the increasing ooDulatlon of tha city, all of which la piling up on the mat biuo or mo river, means must be suppnea to get on the spued to feet on the west alrla tn a i..n iiiinn. waa lntronupea ana i iraun. or tne nie Danxs. nonartmoni passed submitted by the peninsula clubs I stores, hotels and other buslneas houses asking- cooperation In securing the im- will be built on the east side.
