necessary, the commissions traffic

. tain truck at the Dolan fill south
of Bloomington on No. %. to pull
motorists through some three-feet of
water that backed up from Bean
Creek. A three-mile detour went into
force on No. % when the Glenn Val
ley bridge went out, but this has
been replaced with a temporary
bridge. A temporary bridge that
went out on the National Road, east
of Cambridge City, and small struc-
ture on No. ~, south of Mooresville,
have been replaced with temporary
