The county commissioners are contemplating an improvement that will be a great benefit to the residents of the northern part of the city. The canal bridge on North Miami Avenue will be removed and placed across the Big Four railroad at the foot of Oak Avenue. This will make access to the C.H. & D. depot much more convenient for the heavy hauling of the many factories and residents in the western part of the Third Ward.
