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.
