From The Pittsburgh Press:

NEW 10TH STREET BRIDGE OPENED WITHOUT DEDICATION CEREMONY

Undedicated and without ceremony, the county’s new bridge across Monongahela River at Tenth Street went into service yesterday. South Side business men said they had insufficient time to plan dedication ceremonies, and the County Commissioners said they didn’t have money for them. The Commissioners were due to drive across the span yesterday afternoon as a gesture of formal opening. If did few saw them, because few yesterday used the bridge, under construction 18 months and costing $1,600,000.
