REPLACE BOHEMIA BRIDGE
Concrete Structure To Be Built in
Cecil County, Md, This Summer

The State Roads Commission for
Maryland has assured the mem
bers of the House of Delegates
from Cecil county, Messrs. Fred H.
LETTER, Thomas W. Reynolds and
William E. Briscoe, that a new
concrete bridge will be built across
the Bohemia River this coming
summer to replace the present old
wooden structure, which is in
dilapidated, if not in a dangerous
condition. This news will bring
delight to many thousands of per-
sons who travel up and down the
Eastern Shore annually. On two
occasions. in 1914 and again in
1918, the Cecil county delegates
had an appropriation included in
the budget with which to build
new bridge across the Bohemia
River. but for some reason never
explained, the money was used for
other purposes and the old wooden
dilapidated bridge is still in use
1t is estimated that it will cost at
least S35O,O00 to build a new con-
crete bridge across the river, it be-
ing about a quarter of a mile from
one shore to the other. In response
to a letter written to the State
Roads Commission last week, the
members of the House of Delegates
from Cecil county have just receiv-
ed the following letter: Answer
ing your letter of February g. with
reference to the Bohemia bridge,
wish to advise that if the appro-
priation for bridges is approved.
we expect to build the Bohemia
River bridge this year. Very truly
yours, G. Clinton Uhl. chairman"
