isfaction to Mr. j. H. Cassidy of BogaIusa one OF the
most active and Woodworking members Of the police jury

zen realizes that without his untirng efforts the bridge
would not be the completed structure is today No one
but Mr. Cassidy knows how much time, money and worry
he has devoted the obstacles he has overcome IN seeing
this important work completed. He should realize that

For years there had been talk plans and efforts made

accomplished until Mr. Cassidys aid was solicited, and
he displayed such wonderful perseverance and energy
that today the hopes of thousands and the dreams OF Mr.
Cassidy are realized Not only is the bridge monument
to him. but the REPRESENTATION Highway also re-
ceived the hearty support of Mr.. Cassidy
The members of the Police Jury Of Washington Par
ish and the Board of Supervisors of Pearl River County,
Mississippi come in for considerable praise too because
without their cooperation the bridge could not have been
built.
The Importance of linking the states of Louisiana
and Mississippi with this bridge which is on one OF the
most travelled roads in the South, will give an ining Of
what it means to thousands of tourists 1t will permit b.
gausa and Louisiana citizens to become better acquainted
with the citizens of Mississippi and become as one Great
er good will result from the building of this bridge than
was ever dreamed of.

MRS. ARD STRUCK BY
FIRE CHIEFS AUTO

Mrs. A. W. Ard, aged so years,
Of 542 Avenue B, sustained broken
left arm and ankle and a number of
decorations about the head and face,
when struck by the department auto
mobile of Fire Chief Sherman Tues
day evening. Mrs. Ard is in the
Elizabeth Sullivan Memorial Hospital
and is resting as well as could be eX-
pected.
The car was .en route to fire on
Pleasant Hill and Chief Sherman was
speeding up Avenue B in an effort
to reach the scene of the conflagra-
ton. In turning the corner at Sixth
street he struck Mrs. Ard with the
right fender df his car, knocking her
down.
Noting the proximity of the blaze,
Mrs. Ard and Mrs. G. H. bayfield,
had started across Avenue B as soon
as the fire trucks had passed. They
had almost negotiated the crossing in
spite of the heavy traffic, when Mrs.
Mayfield, slightly in advance of her
companion saw the heavy machine Of
Mr.. Sherman racing toward them, but
before she could call to Mrs. Ard the
car had struck her. Chief Sherman
called to occupants of passing cars
to look after Mrs. Ard and pursued
his way to the fire.
Chief Sherman said that owing to
the heavy dust and smoke screen that
had been created by the machine
which preceded him he had failed to
see TIC pedestrians in his path.
