D foundations were and are in first class condition. 5 On Wednesday nfomiog, March 29, at nine o'clock, the bridge committee and members of the Board of Freeholders met contractor Campbell at '• the bridge. With Mr- Campbell was his son, W- Lowell Campbell, head of '■ the Campbell company, who in a diver's suit went down four times and made an examination as had the previous divers- Mr. Campbell made an entire circuit of .the cylindel and reported that there was absolutely , nothing to indicate that the founds - t tions were in anything but first class condition- There is, according to this 1 diver, one small spot on the north6 west side which is rusted through the steel shell. This spot is about 18 - inches square and the cement behind it is dug out about six inches ip 1 depth, but is solid. How minor an > affair this is will be realized when it it known that the cylinder is 24 feet in diameter, a steel shell filled with r solid concrete, resting on 31 pilings 30 feet long and driven in the botr torn of the channel so that the tops i were evep with the bottom of the sound- A'hole six feet deeper than • the bottom " was excavated and the f whole packed solid with concrete ins side the steel hell- According to.re- ' ports of the last two divers the onlyway a stick or rod could be pushed in or under the cylinder would be under the concrete and in this case, ac- . cording to Engineer Learning Rice, , who was the engineer on the job when . the bridge was built, the bottom of the channel would have to wash out to the depth of six feet. The last two divers' reports state that no such • conditions exist. , In the threshing out process Wed- • nesday afternoon before the Board. . Mr. Campbell stated that he was not anxious for the contract in the first . place and that he had reported that the Iron work of the bridge and the , elettric work needed attention, but I that he had said he did not know [ himself anything about the structuje . under water depending upon the div- , er for that information- This was verified by the Freeholders. MrCampbell said that nothing serious I had happened, nobody was hurt and . that he wanted "the general public to . know that I can live without doing I work in Cape May county, but expect , to do more " "But," he added, "when j- I do I will have a contract first." , It appears that the bridge question . -was started by the residents living I nearby and, by statement of a Freeby bridge tender Harry Dick, ! who was also positive he could stick ! a rod into the foundations. Made , worse by apparent misstatements of . the first diver whose affidavit has not : substantiated by the eports of | four others, namely, diver William Wilson, field superintendent William Essington, of the Bader company; Capttin McKean, of Wdldwood, and W- Lowell Campbell, of the Campbell Company. Citizens, headed byT. Woolson, created the next ' chapiter by creating a sentiment for oomplate investigation and a "showdown" to prove the bridge either safe ; or unsafe to everyone's satisfaction. The Freeholders, to clear the atmospiha^and reach a definite conclusion made their own investigations and closed tihe story by the meeting Wednesday when the resolution to award ' to meet an emergency was rescinded ' another resolution. There was no ' action necessary with regards to the contract as it had not been executed1 the close of the meeting chairof the bridge committee Stein was <alled on the phone to appear be- ' fore the Grand Jury at Gape MayCourt HouseConsiderable feeling was exhibited during the meeting on Wednesday between Mr. Woolson and the Board of Freeholders and at times the presiding officer was forced to rap for orderIn- the minds of many interested there is a question still re- 1 maimng. Why did William Gannin make a report, which according to all others is untrue, and if Mr. Campbell expects, as he stated, to do more work in Cape May county he owes it to to get Ganmn's answer to the questionThe bridge now needs replanking and work on irdft work done and this work is now under advisement by ( the BoardNot only is the planking worn, but some of the sleepers are nearly three ' ]

i feet apart, while others are * but , > thirteen inches apart, and because of - - heavy- traffic of today it would seem , ; wise to strengthen the weaker sec- * i tion while replanking is being done. { RIO GRANDE BRIDGE < Built in 1911. { ; Contractor, Harvey Bennett; engin- j eer, Learning Rice; inspector, 0.
