New Bridge Over the Catawba.
Rock Hill Record: For several
weeks past, DR.. ]. b. Johnson, presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce, has
been in correspondence with parties in
Chester county relative to the con-
struction of a bridge across the South
Fork of Fishing Creek, and the nego-
tiations have reached a satisfactory
conclusion. The bridge will be built,
and the wonderful part of 1t Is that
York county has been asked to contri-
butte only $50 towards the cost Of it's
construction. This amount Dr.. john
son has guaranteed, and 1t is likely
that the Chamber Of Commerce will
back up his guarantee with the cash.
The superstructure of the bridge will
be of iron, q span of 60 feet, with Az
feet of timber approaches, the iron
span to rest on concrete piers. work
on these piers is now in progress, and
orders for the lumber and iron work
have been placed.
