ASK CHANGE IN BRIDGE
Camden Board of Freeholders Appeals
q to State Department

An appeal to the State Department will
be made by the Camden County Board Of
Freeholders, who want the bridge spanning
Pensauken Creek. Between Camden and
Burlington Counties, changed from a frame
to a concrete structure. =
Some time ago Camden County author
tiles sent a letter to the officials Of Burling-
ton County asking their monetary co-opera-
tion in changing the bridge,
1t was thought by the Camdenites that as
the bridge connected the two counties each
should share the burden of Its renovation.
The Board of Freeholders thinks Burlington
County has not taken the plan up eagerly.
