People who use the public road between Steel creek and Springs' overhead bridge in Fort Mill township are fearful that unless the bridge on the road near the overhead bridge is repaired a disastrous accident will occur there sooner or later. The bridge, 15 feet in length, spans a ravine in .the road about 12 feet deep. The , supporting timbers at one end of the bridge have fallen down and if an automobile or horse-drawn vehicle should attempt to cross the bridge the structure would give way and perhaps result in a serious accident. The condition of | the bridge may be seen during 1 the day and the short road that has been opened around it used, but there is no obstruction across the road to warn night travelers cf the danger.
