Smithfield Street bridge

[Vigrass, Bill]

I figured out how PRC had six cars on the Charles Street Transfer in the
Bion J. Arnold Report. It is really simple.  That would allow one car each
weekday and the sixth car for Sat. Sun. Hols.   This would allow the cars to
be cleaned once a week.  Think of the cleaners' time it would have saved!
I can't think of another reason that makes any sense.  Maybe it was just an
error.  Consultants do make errors now and then.  That's why you see "Rev.1"
and other numbers on drawings and specifications.  Bill V.  (consultant).
