bridge laborers to the scene. 1t is
feared that if bridge men cannot be

ture may be swept away.
The bridge was built by the
county, but on account of the great
amount of traffic passing over ii
for the construction of Nine Mile
dam by the Inland Empire electric
system 1t became weakened to such
an extent that the high water car
ried a portion away.
The order for men came from the

standstill on account of retarded
traffic.
