'i.-The State High way Commission definitely determined at its meeting here today that the proposed bridge across the Santee river connecting Berkeley and Wil liamsburg counties and the lower and middle sections of the State, would be located either at Murray's Ferry or within one mile of this spot. The defi nite location was not settled upon. Five members of the Santee Bridge Commission, headed by William Bur. guson, of Charleston, its secretary, ex plained that the body had construed the act passed at the last session of the Legislature to mean that 'a bridge had to be built either at "lur ray's Ferry or wvithin one mile of it, interpreting the statute, which reads ''at or near Murray's Ferry," to mean this. The State commission agreed with the in terp retat ion and1( approved it. Obeying instructions of the Bureau of Pub!ic Roaids, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, which believed that the bridge could be constructed cheaper three and one-half miles from Murray's Ferry than at the crossing, the State 1HTighway Engineer had conm pleted a survey at the dlesignatedl spot and estimatedl that hte dliff'erence in saving would he only $2,000, which wa snegli gible in such a large enter p rise. Members of the Santee Bridge Comn mnissioin saidl that the additional con venience to the publ it in having the bridge placed at or near Murray's Ferry wouldl more than conmpensate the increase ini cost.
