THE DAILY TRAFFIC
OVER SPA CREEK BRIDGE.
Some l 400 to 500 Teams Daily Pass
Over Connecting Link Between
Annapolis and Eastport.

If anyone were to tell you that
over one thousand vehicles, carts,
wagons. surveys. daytons. buggies and
automobiles pass over the Spa cree.
bridge daily, perhaps it would bek
doubted, or the statement thought t
be grossly exaggerated.
This, and more is true. Bridge keep
er Charles Williams, says, upon author
ity. that between l 400 and 800 We
hicles cross this bridge daily. He
has counted them from time to time
The bridge is a connecting link be-
tween Annapolis and Eastport. be-
tween which city and thrifty suburb
here is great traffic and much business
done.
Naturally the constant traffic over
the bridge affects its wear and tear.
Some three years ago sthe flooring of
the bridge was renewed both under
meath and surface, and it was again
necessary this year. to renew the
covering. A bridge over which there
is constant traffic like that of Spa
creek bridge should have cement
driveway. 1t is the only proper thing
1t is impossible to enforce traffic
regulations While automobiles pass
ing over the bridge do not injure il to
any material value, those that race
over the draw do damage the bridge, as
do heavy automobile trucks loaded
with lumber or brick. Drivers of wa
gons and other vehicles seem to think
that if they walk their horses over the
draw they may race them over the rest
of the bridge. This is not to be toler-
ated
Yesterday afternoon a double team,
after work OF the roads at Bay Ridge
and Arundel, owned by Contractor
Frank A DuvslI, and driven by coloreo
men, this heavy farm wagon was
driven over the bridge as fast as the
horses could trot. The vibration was
terrible to those on the bridge, and
certainly did not do the bridge any
good Think of between 400 and l.
500 vehicles doing likewise.
