(IP Traditional, old-fashioned Southern hospitality created an atmosphere of carnival and good-fellowship marking the lormai opening of mammoth Cooper River bridge a S-rnile double Can tilever span, the large t bridge of its kind in the world. Indicative of the size of the bridge, built at a cost o( $6400.000 is the tact that the distance Is 1.000 feet between the supporting piers in the center of the main stream and between the piers of the lesser span 600 feeu The con crete roadway deck Is 160 feet from the high water mark. The combined Cantilever span and tres tle work far exceed any previous at tempt and place this bridge in a class by Itself. The largest ships all ; can pass under it with no Inconvenience and there are not a dozen afloat which would have to lower the top mast "p. Built for vehicular tralllc only. the 20 foot wide concrete roadway, it is estimated, can accommodate 1,400 automobiles at a time. With the opening of the Cooper River bridge the highway routes from the far north to the far south eventually will be shortened by sev eral score miles.

From the inner rim of Charleston harbor or from the outsklrU of the city the huge bridge towers above the city sky hue and the bridge Itself resembles a monument to the skill and vision of the men who designed and built It. The low level sur rounding country causes an even greater impression of heighth and vastness and the bridge, seen from the highways leading into the city. seems to stretch across the roofs of the tallest buildings. From the bridge itself the views of the his toric city of Charleston, the adja cent beaches, the converging rivers and beautiful harbor is remarkable.
