Well, the Courier's dream has been realized!!!
When the Courier man first came here back in
year 1937, and began to look around to see in what way
he could make suggestions to help the city of Jefferson,
one of the first things he saw and began to talk about
was a pedestrian bridge on Highway No. 8, across Big Cy-
press river.
Referring to The Courier of November 12th, 1937, in
which the following article appeared—
How About a Pedestrian
Walk Over Cypress River
There is one thing every one we talk to agrees upon,
but no one has done anything about it, and that is a
walk across the Cypress, on the Marshall highway, to
take care of pedestrians before some school children or
grown-ups are killed by the heavy traffic over the bridge.
We believe this would come under the State High-
way Department work, but it might require the co-opera-
tion of our County Commissioners to get some quick ac-
tion on this matter.
We h;ive mentioned this to Chief of Police Milt Mott
and Mrs. Jones, president of the P. T. A., and each of
these people are anxious to see this walk built and each
sees the immediate need and how cheaply it can be built
just along the outside of the present bridge, so let's get
busy before we have some fatal accident that will bring
sadness and sorrow to some family."
After this, it began to be talked freely about the
great need of this bridge. Later, the Junior Chamber and
Senior Chamber of Commerce sent committees to Austin
in regard to an appropriation for this bridge, which was
finally granted and work began some months ago.
No.v the bridge for pedestrians has been completed
at a cost of $13,000.00. and turned over to the State, by a
construction company of Marshall, and is said to be one
of the best bridges of its kind built in this part of the
State.
