however, necessitates longer
bridge and additional expense on the
part of the State in taking care OF
it's highway approa "Nos.
1t Is apparent that the crying need
a. the present time is for highway
bridge rather than a railroad bridge.
The principal reason for making a
combination bridge is in an effort
to get the railroad to bear a sub
stantial part Of the expense Of the
structure. While such a need may
be imperative at Bath it is not at
Richmond since a highway bridge
can be built on the Richmond site
for approximately 100000.
The statement goes on regarding
the attempt to confuse the minds Of
those not familiar with the actual
geography of that part of the State
by saying that the Richmond and
Bath projects are entirely distinct
and separate. Demonstrating that
such is not the case, the statement
indicates that bridge at either
point would serve the same travel, so
far as State travel goes. The at
tempt is to get the bridge at Bath to
serve local travel at the States eX-
pense. The proponents of the Rich
mond project ask that the legislature
and the public will consider it pure
ly on its merits. They have all the
necessary data now. The pro-
ponents Of the Bath matter have not,
nor have they produced a bona fide
bid although the time had been am
PIE for doing SO. After two years Of
constant agitation, and after the ap-
pointing of a committee, many Of the
members of which are avowedly in
favor Of the Bath project, and one,
Mr.. Carleton, being it's promoter and
principal prepayment, they find it
necessary to make further investi-
gatlons as to location, sites, etc, and
alterations as to the plan Of their
bridge, the first plan obviously hav-
Ing been prepared without any real
understanding of the approaches. 1t
is obvious that if this additional in
Festlsation is necessary for the SUI
