<br /> we do no~ think thatthe situation warrants changing go a one-way bridge because
<br /> it would put a lot of people to inconvenience, an i~onvenience that would far
<br /> outweigh their having to-wait on their fellowmeu for a minute or so a~ this
<br /> bridge because then if the bridge were made Due-way quite a few people living in
