Robert Graves, Chairman stated this meeting was called for the purpose of meeting Lwith Mr. Singer and Mr. Carlton of the State Road Department to discuss road matters with them. Mr. Singer stated he had called this meeting for the express purpose of deciding (whether or not a draw span which they have taken out of a bridge at Hallandale could be used in our Wabasso bridge. He furttier stated they had received some opposition from the Wabasso Civic Club to this span being put in. He pointed out to the Board that this draw span is a two lane span and electrically pperated, where the one we now have in the bridge is a hand operated span and only one lane. He further stated that as far as he can see now a completely knew bridge could not be started for Wabasso for at least another five or six years and it lwould take two years to build such a bridge. He further stated that at the time of putting this draw span in they would rebuild the pier and fenders on the old bridge. That the pier could go out at any time, and the fenders have already gone. He further stated it would cost $60,343.00 to put this new draw in and rebuild the pier and fenders but he felt the money would be well spent because of the length of time before a complete new concrete bridge could be put in. After some discussion in the matter and upon Motion made by Commissioner Mac- donald and seconded by Commissioner McCullers and unanimously carried,. the Board approved the installation of the two lane electrically operated swing span State Road Project #88050-3501.
