Vigorous Protest Voiced Over
| Delay in Restoring Malta
I woman Creek Bridge.

Washington and Maryland motorists
still marconed in southern MARYLAND
by the washing ont of the Mattawoman
Greek Bridge near Waldorf, Md. are
highly indignant over the failure of the
Maryland State Road Commission TO
make temporary provision for the pas
sage of cars, according to members OF
the American Automobile Association.
who yesterday made 81 personal survey
of the situation there
Though other bridges at less inn
portant points have been made paSSable
the survey party found, 40 progress
has been made toward repairing the
Mattawoman Greek bridge. or erecting
a temporary structure plank bridge
for pedestrians has been thrown across
the gap and a similar bridge for auto
mobiles could be provided without much
dffhculty ii was declared.
The Mattawoman bridge fell Satur-
day night when the torrential rains

undermined and the concrete bridge
broke of at both ends and settled 10
the creek bed.
Safe Route Suggested by A. A. A.
The American Automobile ASSocia-
ton declared today that the only safe
way motorists from southern Maryland
can reach the District is over very
Ions ietour by way of HugheSville and
Benedict and the Little Patuxent River
ferry. or by way Of Milestone Landing
and the Solomons Island ferry. The
HugheSville- Benedict road is washed
out IN many places and is bad. though
paSSable
The two ferries are very small and
are entirely inadequate to handle the
burden Of southern Maryland traffic,
the association reported. They can
carry only two cars at time. If 1t
becomes known that southern Mary
land can be reached by this route there
will be a line Of cars q mile long at
each Of these ferries and motorists
will have to wait all day TO cross
The survey crew visited the Malta
woman Greek Bridge at noon yesterday
and found no work going on The FORE
man IN charge said it probably would
be three or four days before a bridge.
