Pee Dee Bridge Controversy.

Columbia. Oct. 24.-The answer
OF the state highway department to
the Pee Dee bride commission of
statements made by it regarding
the discarded plans for the erection
OF :. state highway bridge over the
Pee Dee near Mars Bluff, has been
made public by Governor Cooper
The statement in the nature of a re-
port to the governor, not only shows,
that the state highway department
did all it could to get the Pee Dee
bridge located where the Pee Dee
>Dee bridge commission wanted it, but
that certain statemens were made re
sarding the highway departments
plans which were not correct. AS a
result of the controversy between the
state highway commission and the
Pee Dee bridge commission the Pee
Dee commission last week rejected the
possibility of state and federal aid for
the bridge and toll bridge is to be
\erected by private capital instead.
The state highway commission re-
port to Governor Cooper shows that
plans for a bridge were drawn and
approved by government engineers, to
be located at a point two and half
miles above the Mars Bluff ferry.
This plan was approved by the Pee
Dee bridge commission, and a con-
tract was let for the construction. The
work had started, when charges were
made that the estimates were hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars out of
line and that high water bridge
could be erected at Mars Bluff fer
ry for hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars less than the Pee Dee span was
to cost.
Bridge engineers from Georgia
ard North Carolina were called in
to examine the job, the report
shows, and an engineer came from
Washington for the same purpose
The reports of all three confirmed
the position of the state highway
department. Later a thorough in
vestigation was made by an engi-
neer from the bureau of roads at
Washington, and he found that
could be built as planned by
thS highway engineers for less than
S4G0,000, while bridge at Mars
Bluff ferry the last point selected by
the Pee Dee commission, could be
b,dilt, up 10 the same specifications.
for $441,327. The Unitee States de-
partment estimated that the low wat
er bridge could be built at Mars Bluff
ferry, for between S165.0OO and
SITS, 1000.
The highway commission tells Gov.
Cooper that it used every effort to
secure the consent of the government
to participate in bridge nearer the
ferry, but these efforts were unsuc-
cessful.'
''The department desires YOU TO
know that the charges which were
made to the effect that its estimates
were hundreds of thousands of dol
lars out of the way. and that the cost
of high water bridge at the point
selected by its engineers would
