Ha will probably alao put the tablet on the "Perkins hump" of the bridge, and put up a new tab let on the upper structure of the bridge in place of the present one. "That was about the most au dacious thing that Seymour did," ■aid Mayor Fawcett today. "I started that bridg* and let the contract for It. Then Seymour partially rutnad It by giving Bam Perkins a five-foot bump on the bridge so that railroad cars for Perkins could run underneath.
