Highway Bridge
Closed "a Hours
By Short Circuit

Short circuit in a submarine
cable beneath the Pascagoula
highway bridge caused a power
failure in the bride mechanism
for "a hours Sunday and Mon
day during which the span had
to be opened by hand.
v. j. Ladner, maintenance su-
perintendent for the highway
commission stationed at Ocean
Springs, said the wash from pass
ing boats had caused the heavy
cable gradually to work loose in
its fastenings beneath the bridge.
The cable slipped and caused a
short circuit at a point where it
was fastened by a heavy collar.
ThB blew the master fuse in the
bridge wiring.
The bridge was without pow
er from 1880 Sunday morning
until almost noon Monday. Lad
ner said that on Sunday it was
impossible to round up the nee
essarv laborers and electricians
to make a quick repair job. On
Monday morning the mainte-
nance crew was joined by work
ers from the pogy plant, some
fifteen men in all. and the crew
opened and closed the bridge to
let the pogy fleet through by the
slow and laborious method OF
turning the long emergency hand
crank. Traffic was blocked be-
tween twenty minutes and a half
hour while this was done.
Members of the maintenance
crew said call that equipment on
the bridge is old and pretty bad
ly worm and that under these
conditions short circuits and
break-downs cannot be avoided.

Where the County Planning Com

One Of the most important phases
Is the development of a practical
means of increasing the commun-

physical and social improvements
since the low income in rural Vir-

At the suggestion of Richard Har-
man, Washington attorney, who has

made to appeal to Congress for a
bill which would make the centers

AS an alternative it was sug-
