The Saluda Standard, the {$ The last meeting of the highway •omriiissioji in Columbia was an in teresting one! At this meeting C. O. Allen, of Greenville, intitHluced the Hollowing resolution: “Whereas, it is generally under stood that the Ashey river bridge is within the city limits of Charleston; and “Whereas, the sum of $350,000.00 has already been pledged from Fed eral aid funds for the*construction of i*aid bridge; and “Whereas, it is now proposed and recommended hy the State highway engineer that this commiiss'pn enter into a reimbursement contract with county Ojf Charleston for $790,- 808.92, in addition to the above $350,- 000.00, making a total of $ l,'NO,808.92 cost to the highway department; of the State there will be nothing left F'riends of Mrst Moses Morris will to do except to build the road connect- 1 lx* glad to know that she is some bet- ing them. And through what kind of ter. territory will it pafts? We are told Sfr. T. J.dlutto, who opened a store it w ll pass along through ponds and marsh lands, where it is said only al- ligators, mosquitoes, moss : nd rum- runnei’s can survive-. Besides, this road would lead to a toll ferry, and since it has been announced that it is at Ashleigh eyeral months ago, is doing a nice business and tilling a long-felt want in this section. 'The BULL’S EYE 'Editor and Qeneral Manager WILL ROGERS A 1 “Therefore, be it resolved, that this whole matter he referred to the ex ecutive committee for investigation and report.” It appears from this resolution that the huge sum of $3.50,000.00 of Fed eral aid funds has been set aside to help construct a bridge that is said to bo within the city limits of Charles ton,' and that the State engineer is recommending that the highway de partment make a contract , to put ap proximately $800,000.00 more in the ' < > city of Charleston. It should be borne in mind that K. (». Rhett, the chairman of the com mission, lives in Charle-ton. that this sunt- of $350,000.00 was allotted to Charleston before the new members of the commission went*'into office, about a,year, ago, and that C. 0. Al len, a new member of the commission, introduced the resolution. It should be borne in mind that those having business ^with the commission before its membership was enlarged were impressed with the fact that the' ac tivities of the commission were domi- n:#ted by Rhett,, of Charleston, Lang- ley, of Columbia, and Heavon, of Spartanburg, who were aided by Moorefitdd, the State engineer. The A>hley riven bridge is i project; largely‘of loea 1 importance, being on the route from Charleston to Savan nah, Ga. It cannot bo said that this road is ,of * State-wide importance, sir.ee it serves* m* State-wido connec tions. The- spending of huge sums of money on it- ;.t"thi'< time, is indefensi ble, and sho'uld be condemned. No wonder that only small antouuts, here and flu-re, are available,. out of Fed eral .aid funds, for highways where ; the policy of the highway department j not to build roads to toll bridge^, it I should likewise be its policv nl>t to buil-1 them to toll ferries. But what 4 I are mete matters or policy when the powers that be require a construction in conflict with it? Thp State has already contributed a little less than a half million dollars to the construction of a bridge over the Santee river, south of Kingstree, and upon the understanding that it Was on the much-talke<l-of Coastal highway. Hence, it seems reasonable to insv-t that the highway,department turn its energies towonstn.p t icg roads that will put this bridge t > u*- • hy af- ful^iling outlets lo-Cliarlc-1 - hi. Sumter, Florence, K ingstree and elsewhere rather than to building more bridges at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars per mile. The money spent on the Ashley riv er bridge in Charleston would alone amount bi more than enough to con-, hard-surface highway across Bamberg-Barnwell- Orangeburg SUMMER SCHOOL June 9th to July 17th, 1925 .
