Stuck On Bridge-- The porch eaves on this house owned by Charles W. Maxon, Mason City, were too low to clear the sides of Taylor Bridge on Highway 18 at the east edge of Mason City. The walls of the house only had a four-inch clearance. Workmen were forced to jackup the building Tuesday in order to get it across the bridge. The building was being moved from Mason City to a farm near Rock Falls.
