At the regular monthly meeting

held in Vorkvill last
Wednesday. it was d> ti: 1 i 1? !y d eided
to (mild ae:<ss Catawba
River tlie bridge wlii ii has 1 com m
subject of discussion throughout
the county for a number of yeats.
and which would, bki ly have been
built some time a?j;o but for the
unfortunate dill'erenco of < pinion
as to the proper local ion of it.. At
the last session of the tl aerni A senility

work will be comment' <1 on the
bridge as so m as the material of
which it is to be built can be
shipped from the headquarters of
t h" successful balder. Aceoinptuied
by M r. \Y. la. Sprat t and a surveyor,
Supervisor Cu p on Saturday
morning visited Suttoos IV ry
with a view to .wlee iit r a proper
location for the bridge. After
measuring the width ?>! the river
at die ferry an i sever al nearby
points and ealeulatin;_j the probable
e< st of the approaches to tit
bridge at the diuVivnt. p ?ints. it
was decided to locato it nb.<ut iOO
yards above the ferry, which point
will be about miles dl lant
from Fort Mill. '1 lie length of the
steel construction of the bridge is
to be odd feet, with eastern and
western approaches, which arc to
be built of wood, 200 and 1 10 feel
in length, respectively. The topmost
t art of the piers tire to be 2!
feet above low water and feet
