nosed out by 3 feet in a race this
spring. He was expecting a hard

would win. The crew is becoming
accustomed to the eastern climate.

the name to Georges Car

Bridge Collapse on Jefferson Highway.

Bridge Collapse on Jefferson Highway.
The Jefferson Highway was
badly damaged by the terrific
rain of last Sunday night, and it
is estimated that it will take three
months to put the surface of the
road in good condition again.
The biggest damage was caused
by the collapse of concrete
bridge over creek bottom III
miles south of here. The middle
pier of the bridge was under
mined by the current OF water
allowing it to sink and break in
half. At points along the road
further south the deluge washed
the embankment away up to the
gravel, and in places washed
part of the gravel away.
A run-around has been built
through the creek where the
bridge collapsed and temporary
repairs made along the road, en-
abling traffic to go through with
out interruption.
