Officials Study West State Street Bridge Plan

County Engineer F E N Leonard has secured WPA guidance to submit the West State St bridge plans to the U S Army Corps of Engineers in Huntington. If the engineers approve, the War Department could sponsor the project and the city would incur no cost. The Army engineers would manage construction and may require changes to strengthen the bridge over Chickamauga Creek. Current estimate for bridge and road is 200000 dollars. Leonard hopes the War Department will take over the new road, likely to become a main travel artery and ease a frequent flood problem.
