Sinopsis

Excerpt from Report of the Select Committee to Whom Was Referred the Subject of the Formation of an Ice Bridge Over the St. Lawrence at Quebec

The occasional loss of life and property, besides the many inconveniences and difficulties incident to crossing the River St. Lawrence at Quebec, during the inclemency of our winter months, has, at various times, occupied public attention.

To surmount this great impediment to an advantageous intercommunication between the opposite shores, and in order to provide for the wants of a rapidly increasing population and commerce, however diverse opinions may have been, as to the way of attaining the object, a periodical Ice Bridge has hitherto been the primary point of consideration to which all efforts have been directed.
