That was the sulxjtance of a statement made by J. S. Williamson, ' chief engineer of the state highway j department at a meeting of the I<eroy Belk Post. American Legion Mon! day evening. Upon invitation members of the Chamber of Commerce and city administration as svell as representatives of the Kershaw coun, ty highway department were present 1 at the meeting. Mr. Williamson gave an interesting talk dealing with the growth of the state highway department, the improvement of South Carolina highways and als6 outlined the present financial setup of this unit of the state government. In discussing a new three year plan project, he stated that It was hoped ?to have the Camden bridge Included in tbe work. He then added that If a group or groups could provide for the securing of the necessary acreage for the bridge approaches on either side of the river, there was an ' excellent chance that the first steps toward the bridge contract would bo taken soon . Tbe Legion by a unanimous vote approved of early action toward cooperating with the state highway department iu the matter of the approaches. Marlon Williams, Post , member, announced that ho had been, j requested to inform Mr. Williamson 'that the Logoff side of the river, would he taken care of af no expense I to the highway department. I If the acreage necessary for the ap, pryadi on- the Ca?nk>n side of the rivi cr can be provided within a few weeks, there is every assurance that: i work upon the new bridge will be i well under way this summer. The Camden and Kershaw County 1 Chamber of Commerce is taking much interest in the securing of the property for the east approach, as.the. Chamber realizes in a full measure the handicap the present unsafe bridge has been for tourist traffic on r s No 1 j Motorists driving south on C. S.J No I and noting the condition of the! present bridge and the almost everpresent maintenance laborers at I work arrange their return trips so as, to avoid having to use the bridge. As j a result Camden suffers a loss of, business. BARON DeKALB TAKES TWO I The basketball teams of the liaron j DeKalb school defeated the teams of!
