River Bridge Is
Closed To Traffic
Burricude Erected Yester-
day On Structure-Port
Of Town Isolated

With the report of State Roads
engineer that the bridge across the
Little Youghiogheny river would
not even be recommended for foot
traffic, steps were taken yesterday
afternoon to barricade the bridge
and close it to traffic until some
repairs can be made. Just how
long this would be was not stated.
The closing of the bridge has cut
off all traffic from the Underwood
section and isolates a portion of the
corporate limits of the town and
the Monte Vista road and Cherry
creek sections. Many of the heads
of families in this area are en-
ployed in Oakland.
CLOSED 3 TO DAYS
The three county commissioners
and their attorney, Mayor Russell
L. Smith of Oakland and the towns
attorney met at six o'clock last
night and decided to repair the
Little Youghogheny bridge tempo
rariIy to where it would support
safely three-ton load and agreed
that the county and the town would
furnish the necessary labor and
that the cost of materials would
be equally divided.
1t was stated that repairs would
be started this morning and that
they would take from three to
five days to complete. In the mean
time the bridge remains closed.
A complete report of the condi-
ton of the bridge was sent to the
County Roads department yester-
day by Albert l.. Grub, chief of
the bureau of bridges, State Roads
Commission, and in addition to
condemning the bridge over the
Little Youghiogheny he declared
that the overhead bridge over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, on
Third street, was inadequate.
The bridge situation all over the
county is not good, according to
Darrell Wotring, county roads SUI
pervisor. Paul Dewitt, his roads
assistant, said the bridge on the
highway from Crellin to Turner
Douglas was not too safe Likewise
the Merrill bridge in the Savage
river area, was declared unsafe for
heavy traffic. The two bridges on
the Underwood road are also rath-
er precarious, he said, and several
other bridges throughout the coun-
~ need repairs. Some of these
bridges were placed in the early
1900's, he said, and really are not
equipped to handle the heavy traf-
fic load of today
In sending his report to the
Roads department, Mr.. Grub
stated that the necessity for i'm
mediate action cannot be over-em-
phaSized."
1t was determined several weeks
ago that the bridge was a respon-
sibility of the town, but the County
Commissioners agreed to assume
some of the responsibility since
much county traffic Travelled over
it. At some meetings of both the
