Catawba Bridge Controversy.
| There is more or less local contro-
| Versy over the location Of the propos-
ed bridge over the Catawba between
Wright's and Boyds ferries. As origi-
nally drawn, the bill providing. for the
bridge. conformed to the North Caro-
lima statute. to leave the location TO
the highway engineers Of the two
states This was changed mainly on
objection to the idea Of requiring the
county to pay for a bridge the location
and supervision Of which was to be
under the authority of the state. The
difference as to location Is about like
this: Mecklenburg people are said to
be desirous Of locating the bridge al
high up the river as they can get II,
and people Of the Point section. on the
York side Of the river, agree with them
on two main grounds. In the first
place they urge that unless there Ia
considerable Difference to the Mecklin-
burg people there will be no bridge and
in the second place, the higher up the
bridge Is located the better their pros
pect Of getting fairly good outlet
road Of which they stand in very great
need. phey urge that in addition to
the long approaches that will make
the erection Of bridge at Wright's
ferry out Of the question, they will be
cut Off from the bridge by Crowder's
creek, which creek, because Of the i'm
mense volume Of water 1t carries dur
ing freshets, will be further menace
to bridge located Immediately below
its mouth. It is fact that whether
the river bridge Is located above or be-
low Crowder's creek, there must be
bridge over Crowder's creek to permit
the people on one side or the other Of
that stream to reach the river bridge
People living on the south side OF
Crowders creek, generally argue that
the best solution sof the matter -is-to.
extend the Clover-Rethel road two
miles on to the river and build the
bridge at or near Wright's ferry. They
also insist that the Wright's ferry To-
cation will be more acceptable to the
larger number Of people who live to
the south side OF Crowder's creek and
lit will more readily contribute to the
restoration and development Of the
communication between Mecklenburg
and York counties.
