Something to remember if (or when) our contractor falls behind schedule

The depression following the stock market crash of October 1929 is apparently still fogging up the heads of some Sag Harbor and East Hampton businessmen. In March of 1931 they proposed a $45 million dollar bond issue be floated to build bridges from North Haven to Shelter Island and from Shelter Island to East Marion (on the North Fork) to "help the unemployment situation." The East Hampton Town Board favored the proposal by a vote of 4-2. Guess the construction crew is still tied up in traffic on the LIE.
