Wailua Bridge Down
One of the big wooden bridges over
the Wailua Gulch below the beautiful
Hiumalo waterfall in the district of
Hama collapsed and fell into the rocky
bed of the stream Friday of last week,
three days after your correspondent
took the chance of crossing it on an
automobile. At that time only one side
of the structure was shaky, the inside,
but the appearance of its readiness to
drop into the rocky bed of the stream
fifty feet under it seemed so imminent
that your correspondent being only
transient visitor unused to risks of
travelling in such wild country felt his
heart jump into his throat when cross
ling it.
Calling the attention Of the author
tiles of the district to the matter did
little good as they claimed the contract
for replacing the rotten structure with
new concrete bridge had been let to
Mr.. Patterson and if any damage hap
pened Mr. Patterson s bOndsmen would
have to pay the bill. Now that the
bridge is gone the question is being
raised whether or not the contractor
shall be required to go to the expense
OF putting up temporary bridge for
the accommodation of the travelling
public,
