of a bridge across the Catawba
river near Fort Mill jointly by
York and Mecklenburg counties
during the present year was dis
sipaicu iuosuay at a meeting ui

river where it was proposed to
; build the bridge when the
Mecklenburg commissioners announced
that they could not
| agree to pay two-thirds the cost
of the structure, including the
approaches. The site which the
York commissioners insisted upon
is in the "Buster" Boyd bottoms
I and they refused to consider a
1 proposition to erect the bridge'
k at a point farther up the stream.

latures provided that York county
B pay one-third the cost of the
B bridge and that Mecklenburg
pay the other two-thirds, York's
total appropriation for the struc^B
ture amounting to $37,000.
