Bridge Protection
is Ordered

Last Tuesday the City Coun-
Gil authorized contract with
Hoffman-Miller Engineers fol-
preparation of detailed plans
and specifications for improve
ments which would help pro-
tect the South Central Avenue
bridge from flood damage. A
report by Hoffman Miller
pointing out the existing dan
gerous conditions caused by
sand and gravel pit excava-
tions around the base of the
bridge prompted this action
The report pointed out that
the possibility of flood dam
age to the bridge becomes more
serious as the pit excavations
are extended and depend. The
report propoSd cotnrsuction Of
a total of 3 V-notch concrete
lined troughs to carry flood
water from the pit excavation
east of the bridge to the ex-
cavation pit west of the bridge
The plan also proposes the pro-
lection of the top edge of the
lower pit with wire and rock
baskets to an elevation which
would be safe against erosion
The proposed plan will help
protect the South Central
bridge against frequent small
as well as occasional large
floods.

Princess Grace Frightened to Tears
By Surging Crowd Of 10000 in Dublin

DUBLIN, June Is CAP)-
The police guard on Princess
Grace and Prince Rainier Of
Monaco was doubled today
after wildly enthusiastic crowds
broke cordons and frightened
the Princess to tears.
ReinforcementS also were
added to the motorcycle escort
around the limousine of the
Princess, former movie star
Grace Kelly. Some of the OUT
riders were swept off their ma
chimes as a crowd of 10000
surged round the Princess in
Dublin last night.
Guard Reinforced
Cheering crowds roared q
greeting again today, but the
reinforced guard spared her a
repetition of last nights wild
welcome.
The princess and her hus-
band drove 80 miles from Dub
lin to visit q hospital run by
the Medical Missionaries Of
Mary at Drogheda.
Her Rolls-Royce still was
scratched from last nights

IL Are HOspitalized
:. Twelve people were hospital
lied and more than 100 were
treated on the spot for cuts
and bruises. The Prince and
Princess sat helpless in their
car for 20 minutes while the
crowd milled around them on
O'Connell street.
Twice before the crowds had
swept the cordons aside-out-
side convent in North Dublin
and again as she left q concert
opening the International Mu-
sic Festival. But as the1Monacan
couple arrived at q hotel for
q banquet and ball, there was
an added complication. Their
car broke down from too much
running in low gear.
Cheering teen-agers and
alarmed women pressed
against the car windows. Some
were sent sprawling over the
hood. Civic guards and Of
ficial aides from other cars
struggled to push the royal car
up to the hotel entrance.
Waves From Balcony
The Princess was weeping as
police finally forced a way for
her through the mob and into
the hotel. Outside the crowd
was yelling, I'VE want Grace"
and after Is minutes to COM
pose herself, she walked out
on q balcony and waved to
them.
Tonight the Princess will be
reunited with her children,
Princess Caroline, 4, and Prince
Albert, 3. They are being flown
from Monte Carlo to join their
parents for q holiday in West
Ireland after the official state
visit ends tomorrow.
