August 24, 1951, Appleton Post-Crescent
Hand in hand with yesterday's story, this article gives the real scoop on how the bridges of the 19th century barely met the minimum requirements for the definition of the word, as it were. But I guess it's better than having to use a boat and all that that entails, especially when moving cargo from place to place. Considering the conditions of the streets at that time, what with mud and/or the ever present evidence that horses leave behind, a little water in your boots might have been a welcome respite from dealing with all that.
