BROADWAY BRIDGE OPENED LATE
by Reed Karman •
Construction was completed in early March on the new Broadway Bridge. It would have been finished the week before but weather delayed work. The old Broadway Bridge was torn down not because of structural instability but due to a city council estimate of the upkeep cost. The old Broadway Bridge was built in 1923 and was dedicated to World War I veterans. The new one is dedicated to all veterans.

Also about Samurai, how they affected Japan and what Japan was like in their time. In Japan the Prime Minister was always the heir to the throne, like the Prince of Whales. We read two poems about the founding fathers. In science we learned about micro-machines made using lasers. Like glasses for flies. Laser shows don’t burn anything because they keep moving fast enough.
