Several thousand people are gathered for the opening of the new Riverford tunnel, which cuts through South Mountain. It had eventually cost twice as much money as was planned for it as the engineers ran in to all kinds of trouble and advised the council more than once to abandon the idea. But now the tunnel is finished it will be well worth it relieving traffic congestion and making it easier to get into the city on the South side. The tunnel commissioner, Jonas Anderson drove set off to drive the first car through the tunnel but several minutes later he still had not appeared leaving no sign of him or his car.
