GREENWOOD ROUTE MAY BE CHANGED Laurens Ighwny Comiissioni Couid. ering Shortenaing Distance Bet ween, Waterlo ) and Greenwliood by Build 1ng New Bridge. That a Ipractically new road is con temn plated by the iiiliway Commission from Waterloo to the Greenwood coun ty line, allin for a inew bridge across I Saluda River near the old Cuninghaim place, Is divulged by a survey recent. ly made by the highway engineer and by a news item iIn the Greenwood in dcex-Journal it few days ago forecast Ing Opposition to this plan by the (Ireenwood highway commission. As stated in The Advertiser last week a joilt meeting of the highway commis sions of Greenwood and Laurens coun-. ties is to take place at Greenwood rhursday of this week, when the mat te' of a Common Crossing point of the Saluda river is to be discussed. 'Supervisor Watts, chairman of the Laurens Highway Commission, said yesterday that the route to be follow od in reaching the Greenwood county line has given the Commission much foo( for thought. Should the commis ilon decide to follow the present route rf the road from Waterloo to what is 3alled the 1ron Uridge and there eon neet up' with i the Greenwood road, the Lvo bridges0 across Reedy and Saluda river would have to be practically re umilt if they are put iII condition to w)ar the heavy tralie ex ,)ecte( on a hrough road. In addition to this, h. nid , the expense of rebiilding the 'oal( itself woild be very heavy on recount of the heavy grades and cirva ure.
