Commission, was visited yesterday by
a delegation representing the citizens

the Severn river and urged to build a
concrte structure in place Of the pres

mated that about $500 600 would be
needed to build an adequate concrete
structure. The Legislature probably
will be asked to appropriate more
money Chairman Zouck told the dele

ordered repairs 10 the present bridge
