THE  BREWERY  CROSSING.

 

            Mayor Jardine has taken up the matter of an overhead crossing at the brewery, on the Scandinavia road, with the Wisconsin Central people, and is in hopes to have it a reality before the summer closes.  The project is to build a bridge across the railroad tracks nearly opposite the old Arnold house, and secure a four rod strip from the Schlitz Brewing company, which own the land, for a roadway south to join the main road.

            It is understood that the Central company is as anxious as are the people of Waupaca that the bridge be built, as it will do away with the necessity for their keeping a flagman there, as at present.

            The Post has urged the advisability of abolishing the dangerous grade crossing there for many years.  It is by far the most dangerous in the city, and is more so since the railroad tracks have been lowered.  It is to be hoped that the work will be done.
