Clubs Endorse Efforts
To Widen Bridge
The Tryon Rotary and Kiwanis
clubs endorsed the movement this
week to widen the Pacolet River
bridge just north of Tryon and
familiarly known as the Howes-
Connor bridge. Sto many accidents
and near accidents have occurred
on or near the bridge that public
sentiment is demanding that some
thing be done by the proper au
thorities responsible. Prominent
citizens all over* this section have
already signed a petition to present
to the high way officials request
ing them to consider widening the
bridge. Abutments for a wide
bridge are already there, but the
present bridge will not permit two
cars to pass on it at the regular
traveling auto speed. Consequent
ly when autoists try it they hit
each other or the sides of the
bridge.
