THURSDAYS RAIN
COSTS HEAVILY
RapiIie and Ten Other Bridges WASH
ed Away and Much Damage Done
BY SIoughing Banks

The heavy rains Thursday afternoon
and night cost the county several
thousand dollars by losses Of bridges
ami caving road embankments. The
largest bridge which was carried away
IN me freshet was the Rapilje con-
crete bridge on the Rocky Springs
road. This bridge was built about
three years ago at cost of over
$1,000.
Six other bridges in the Fourth Dis
trict were washed away. That district
was the heaviest loser, though the
Fifth District lost four bridges, and
he Third lost the approach to the
new Gunnison bayou bridge. Dis
tricts One and two were not such
heavy losers in the matter Of bridges,
but great damage was done in the
way Of sloughing road banks. Some
roads were practically ruined in this
way. The roads in the First District
had Just been put in good condition,
and they are now in worse fix than
before.
The total loss to the county is esti-
mated to be from $4,000 to $4,000.
The freshet of two weeks before had
caused the loss Of the Grindstone Ford
iron bridge, which would cost about
S25,000 to replace.
