Road across the Mpologoma, 1909
Scope and Contents
90 x 82 mm. Showing a road under construction beside the Mpologama River, visited by Bell in 1909: 'At the place where we crossed the Mpologoma, on our way to Mbale, the river is about a mile and a half wide ... A pontoon ferry boat is in course of construction and will soon be ready. Loaded waggons with their teams of oxen will then be able to cross easily, and much time which is now lost through the use of canoes will be saved. It is estimated that considerable revenue will acrue from rates charged for ferriage.' (Bell 1909).
