m MB RIVER BRIDGE PRO*! iter. The Pee Dee Bridge Commission set in Florence Oct. 15th and adjourned sine die with all prospect of I . government aid to a free bridge gone RUmmering. About Feb. 20th the bridge commission by unanimous agreement selected a site 6000 feet above the A. C. L R. R. crossing and made a contract with an engineering company to construct a bridge across the river at about 996,'000.00. The bridge people shipped equipment to Pee Dee and were ready to begin operations.*At this time eur Marion friends saw a blue print of the bridge with a heavy red line following the A. C. L. road bed and indicated a good road via Dillon. As a prominent Marion citizen said to me I a "short cut" R.Tr. line at one time 'left Marion off the main line: so a "short cut" highway might leave them off the map again. It was nowj necessary to find some way to cancel the contract to build the bridge and to open up again the question of a , suitable site. .. r- It was first contended that the relocation of a site was necessary largely on account of expense. Sifted to last analysis it was found that the advocates of crossing at Mars Bluff t ferry figured on a low water bridge with a cement coated road leading - from Pee Dee to the bridge and only a few inches higher than the present road bed. This road has been submerged several times every year and acts as a spill way for flood waters in time of a freshet. The estimate made by government engineers for con. structing this low water bridge agrees very closely with cost estimated by . Florence and Marion counties. This bridge and spill way road in no manner compares with the" high water ^ bridge and fftt planned by government engineers and which could have been completed at about $3 80,000. Of this Urn $190,000 would have been paid by the National government and the .balance by Florence, Marion, Charleston, Dillon and Berkeley counties. This would have been a free bridge and would have had government aid . roads built approaching it. The bridge would have been the means of building up a great artery of travel second to none in South Carolina. A #second vision ruined our bridge contract. Put on a toll charge that will pay the cost of bridge and then help build up the roads of Florence and Marion counties. We have perhaps for a generation lost our chance of being located on a great national highway. Our friends at Cheraw will see that their roa^n and bridge will attract any distance travellers. Citizens of about three counties may pay In tolls enough to pay for the bridge, provided it does not wash away before any considerable amount can be collected. No great thoroughfare can ever be built up with the double handicap of (oils and high water. Dillon d&unty did no, seek nor expect any advantage due to the location of the bridge. Florence has lost her last opportunity of getting on a great highway. An enlightened public can yet cure a great mistake by demanding a bridge at any one of the three locations selected by government engineers. Wade Stackhouse. o PBOfiBAM.
