That the new Ocean City to Strathmore bridge w ould be opened late this summer, or In the early fall, was made certain this week, when schooners were Chartered to bring the balance of needed lumber from the south. Tne Strathmere Lumber Company, which is supplying the lumber, tried •-very possible way to secur- June shipments from Virginia by rail, could not get one through, due to present war conditions with the • rnment commandeering practically all lumber on freight trains.
