only serious damage we have
heard of was the caving in of
the bank at the approach to
the north end of the Mcdowell
bridge, on the Catawba river.
For a time it was difficult for
wagons to cross the bridge.
One team, in attempting to
pass the break, rolled down
the bank for a considerable
distance but was not injured.
It is claimed that M.ssrs.
Mcdowell s. Garrison's dam
just below the bridge caused
the break in the bank, a strong
current of water being thrown
by the dam to that side.
While such may the case in
this instance, the same trouble
would probably have occurred
during high water even with
the dam out, as this approach
to the bridge is simply a bank
of fine sand and washes easily.
The authoritie should have
made it more secure long ago.
However, Messrs. Mcdowell
& Garrison are repairing the
break at their own expense.
The bridge is in no way in
jured by the break in the
bank. The stone pillar at the
north end remains intact.
