Whereas, the citizenship of our City and this general area have
long been aware of the historic significance of the old Stone 'Bridge
over Salado Creek, which is located on the old route of State Highway
14 between Batesville and Newport, and have hoped to preserve it both
as an excellent example of the bridge-builders art aridl as a valuable
relief crossing in emergency; and
Whereas, the efforts of local agencies and organizations to such end
have been unavailing to the end of preserving same both as a bridge and
and as landmark worthy of nation-wide interest and attraction; therefore,

ansas, in session assembled on October 9, 1956, that the Arkansas Highway

said old Stone Bridge, that said BridLe be reconditioned in keeping with
its original lines and structure, and that there be developed thereabouts
a small roadside park and recreational areal all in keeping with such old
structure and its surroundings.
