Stone Bridge should be here for everyone to enjoy

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor,

     Is it really that complicated?

     The Ely Stone Bridge needs repairs to preserve it for foot and bike traffic and for people to enjoy the peacefulness of such a place. The project is in the hands of us, the citizens of Jones County and surrounding areas.

     The first concern is to direct the water flow from going over the top surface of the bridge and causing more damage. This must be done very soon.

     The next step is repairing and replacing the fallen stones that have been caused to fall due to the water flow. This will take money!!

     We need everyone’s help to make these things happen. It is projected to take $20,000 for the needed repairs.

     This project is for you and the youth of tomorrow to enjoy as in the past.
