conferences ever since the metal bill

MANY NEW BRIDGES
THE STRUCTURE OVER HAMPTON
CREEK WILL COST A VERY
LARGE SUM.
ARE PLANNED
Steel For Twelve New Bridges Has
Been Purchased BY the Richland
County commIssIoners-Many OF
the Roads VIII Also be Repaired.

Columbia.-At the regular meeting
Of the board Of county commissioners
plans for a bridge over Hampton
creek on the Gamers Ferry road were
accepted. The plans were drawn and
submitted by NJ. Goode Homes, pro-
lessor at the University of South Car
DINA doing work now for the county.
Work on: the bridge will begin at an
early date. 3d..
The bridge will be "a feet In length,
having two spans each % "a feet
in width. The roadway will be 16
feet. Mr.. Homes estimates that the
new bridge will cost $2,181. The old
bridge, which was constructed at a
cost of 81, 1000 about three years ago,
Is already in bad condition. The
proposed bridge will be strengthened
by the use Of abutments and a GEN.
tire pier made hollow and reinforced
with steel.
The county has purchased the steel
for IL new bridges to be built during
the summer. The steel, which has
already been shipped, is in the form
of spans ranging in length from 8 to
20 feet. The first Of these bridges OF
steel and concrete is to be erected at
Dents mill on the Camden road.
Work on this is now being pushed.
The board Of commissioners author.
lied w. F. Muller, the supervisor, to
construct a bridge over Arthur's
branch on the Bluff road. About the
middle of August work will be begun
on the road leading from Leesburg to
Eastover. Following this another will
be constructed at Messers' mill on
the Camden road. Others will be
built when and where the board may
decide later.
A feature in connection with all
these bridges is that the roadway sur
faces will. run over them, and thus
the humping caused ion the old-fash-
toned bridges by loose boards and
washouts at either. end will be avoid.
ed. II a road is of sand and clay. the
sand and clay will be laid on the
bridge. Steel and concrete bridges,
says Mr.. Homes, are economical, and
once constructed are permanent, and
unlike the wooden affairs do no need
constant repair.
