A bill will be introduced in the State Senate tomorrow by Mr. D. W. Lane '94, providing for the erection of a new bridge over the Charles River at the end of Boylston street. The bridge contemplated will be a drawless structure of wood, sixty feet wide. The cost, which is estimated at $100,000, is to be divided equally between the cities of Boston and Cambridge. The height of the bridge over the channel will be twenty-six feet above mean high water, and will necessitate raising the present grade of the street.
Provided the bill passes the Legislature, work on the bridge will be begun early in the spring, and should be completed before next fall.
