Favorable Report On West Point Aid Bill
The claims of the war department for the cost of a 2 pontoon bridge destroyed by a cyclone in December 1919 at West Point Georgia have been favorably reported by the house committee on claims. The bill, introduced by Representative Wright, provides 2705.77 to cover transportation of material for both bridges, but the city is not to pay for the loss of material on the first bridge as the destruction followed an act of God. Senate passage is expected soon.
