Cambridge, Md., May 14:
A new bridge and steel draw at Brookview, Dorchester county, which has been undergoing construction for the past three months, has been finished and is now one of the finest structures of its kind on the Eastern Shore. The steel draw has a span of nearly 100 feet and is operated by a mechanism which brings the draw beneath the bridge instead of revolving on a pivot in the center. It is the only one of its kind in Dorchester county. The draw was built and put in place by the Pittsburg Bridge Company at a cost of $7,000. The structure was examined today by a committee representing Dorchester county and the Pittsburg Bridge Company. The committee was entertained by Mr ZORA H. BRINSFIELD at his residence in Eldorado.
