would help Columbia more than free
bridges." The statement was made
last night bt fore the members of the
Columbia Chamber of Commerce by
B. W. Shand, a member of city cuunv
oil, de ending the propos d bond issue
of f75,000 to purchase or erect bridges
across the Congaree river.
"We want you to come here. We
;wsnt you to trade, but you must pay
to come here." This Mr. Shand said
is the welcome that is daily extended
by the city of Columbia to the people j
of Lexington and other counties in the J
western section of the State, who would |
spend thousands of dollars annually
^witih Columbia merohants.if there was '
' not a a riff against their coming.
He said the toll was like a Columbia
merchant who woald be so foolish as
to place a man at his door and charge
hnstomers a fee to enter the store.
The question of 41 free bridges"across
the Cougaree river was thoroughly
thrashed out before two score inem*
bers of the Chamber of Commerce and
it was decided that the Chamber would
in a body work to carry the election
. on the question of issuiDg $75,000
wortu of bonds. The election will be
vnext Tuesday. There were discussions
by many of the members. Each side
" *** ? /- lv r? T"? AO frt T> rooon lt.Q
YVilS j^lVCU Ck V/UOUVV bv j/ivgvi, <?V
ideas.
An aggressive opponent to the bond
issue Was August Kohn. Ho opposed
r tne election on the grounos that the
debt or the city was already too large,
being over $1,000,000. He said that
?>tbe city should be made attractive so
as to induce people to come here. He
did not see "where Columbia would be
benefited by the purchase of the bridges.
There wai a spirited debate between
Chas. Narey and F. S. Terry. Mr. Narev
was another one of :he aggressive
opponents to the bond issue. He did
think that the city wculd be benefited
by 'freeing" the bridges. He said that
be owned considerable property and
that it was not the taxes, bub t lat
||the city itself should be first improved.
At the last session of the legislature
an act was passed authorizing and directing
the supervisor of Lexington
--county to issue live notes of Lexington
county for ?5,000 *?ach, payable one,
two, three, four and five years from
> date at 6 per cent interest, payable annually,
for the purpose of paying one*third
of the cost of purchasing the

*pr building a new bridge across the
-Congaree river between Richland and
Lexington counties and providing that
<this should be don3 whenever Columbia
township was ready to furnish the
.money to pay the other two-thirds of
the cost of such bridge.
y Tnis act was the result of the votes
-of the whole of Lexington county in
the 1910 primary on tne question of
F whether or not the county should bear
a part of the expense for ''freeing" the
CCongaree river bridge and at such
time that county voted in favor of the
.proposition by 2,124 to 990.
The statutes at large for 1908, page
1431, authorizes Columbia township to
* hold an election on whether or not
bonds should be issued to 4 'build or
purchase and to maintain a bridge or
?bridges across the Congaree river and
the Broad river between the counties
of Richland and Lexington at any
point, between the northern and
-southern boundaries of said Columbia
township." It further provided that
the bridge should be forever open
| "for the passage of all persons, ani\
male, driven or ridden, and vehicles,
^ .not including street or railway cars,
nnminff into or miner oat of Columbia
township, free of toll or charge." The
bonds are authorized to be issued in
v denominations of $100, $500 and $1,000,
the total amount not to exceed $75,000
4 and to bear a rate of interest not to
exceed 6 per oent. per annum, payable
annually on the 1st day of July of
eachyeflv
It was provided, howerer, that the
question of issuing tjie bonds should
be submitted to the qualified voters of

At this election only qualified
electors can vote.
