The plans call for the new struc- ture to be erected 125 feet further toward the river from the present bridges. It will be one single span as the fork of the creek is to be re- moved permitting the stream to flow in one cannel. The southern approach will be- gin on the side of Chickies hill above the large brick house at the sharp curve at the top of the steep grade several hundred feet from the present bridges. The bridge will be diagonally from the present road to come out on the boulevard re- cently constructed to eliminate the two railroad crossings. While the new bridge will be of two-plate girder construction and only 74 feet long the structure to- gether with the approaches will be approximately 4000 feet in length. At the Chickies end a great deal of filling will be required for the approach. It is said the cost of the new bridge and approaches will be very high, running into six fig- ures. During the new bridge the remain in use. —— 0 Eee COMMENCEMENT DAY IN CONOY TOWNSHIP constructed construction of the present road will Conoy township high school held its annual commencement on Thurs- day evening in St. Luke’s Lutheran church.

Both city gov- ernments are just as = independent of one another. as are’ the school boards of East Dorlegal and Mt. Joy townships at Florin, where the children on each side of Main street attend their respective town- ship schools. Leaving Bristol, Tenn. or Va., whichever you prefer, we travelled to Knoxville and Chattanoga, Tenn. Thence thru to Birmingham, Alaba- ma.
