HIGHWAY ENGINEER CONDEMNS BRIDGE !Says It Hag Gotteu Beyond Profitable Repair and a New One Is Only Way to Fix It. i uat the 'ee' ril,8e acr03S 'nB Wil-i '""ictte river at the end of Center street is carrying loads that it cannot ' I'ti ui-cimtMi uii lis iui i niiu n imiuio. ii. th oit n rmmrt ...hm.th.ri .hw State Highway Engineer It. L. Bowlby at the request of the county courts of Marion and Polk counties and the city or aieiu. Jhore is no question out that the briiiire in unsafe, aecorilinir to i ' . . " . Mr. Bowlby but he gave it as his opin- ! ion that by limiting the traffic to single I concentrated loads of live tons at one I '.'"t T. . 'riu''. . "!! !tl,- li.ic. M, if n .i, would be lessened but not eliminated entirely, It Was explained that old bridges in ' , u: . ...j the condition of this one often acted peculiarly and that a heavy load might pass over tho bridge in safety and then the bridge might fail under a much lighter load. The vibrations of the bridge are excessive at times as shown when the company of regulars, company E of the Twenty-first infantry, crossed tue bridge. The company was in sin gle file breakstep. yet they were com pelled to halt three times in crossing the bridge on account of the vibra tious. The shoes, or rollers, placed on top of tho piers so that the bridge may slide when heat and cold contractions and expansions change the length ot the structure, have rusted so that they ,lu not move. As a result tiio piers are moved when the bridgu changes its length. It is likely that this effect has impaired the stability of the piers. The lo' of inspection shows that many of the joints are rusted between the plates and pitted, biaces are warpe.1 and in bud .ondition and that deep rust patches show through the structure. The top ,-hoid is sagged, struts are bent and that the braces admit of excessive play in all directions. I 1'he summary of the report and the ri'co,,',mcii !atio;:s of Mr. Bowlbv are as ! follows: l'ractica'lv the entire deck of liridne is in need of replacement. Posts throughout trusses are leeply pitted and rusted below level ui tieciv 01 bridge, l'osts oil south side of bridge show more effects of rust than on north side. All shoes on the south side of Olll Sllie OI 1, .-. . i . lioto trusses show unusual deterioration from rust. Shoes on north side ot bridge, while rusted and pitted, do not appear as had as on the south side. Gusset plates connecting lower laterals at shoes are almost rusted off.

"From the calculated stresses, hased ,i uic 1,1,1.1s 1 ne oruiiie is now caned. on to carry, and the condition of the on the loads the bridue is now called metal, the bridge is carrying loads that it cannot safely be depended on to carry without a failure. "For instance, a combination of a "'go wind and two heavv trucks passing at a moderate speed, with the average vehicle load on the bridge, would be a ' "nin, on rnur mi- orioge n-iuiti nave difficulty in carrying, owing to over- stressing of the hangers and laterals, "From the enclosed traffic schedule and speeds observed, the necessity of reducing this speed to nbottt four miles an hour, by setting a time limit under which no vehicle shall cross the bridge i... , . m. ... .miner penalty, is apparent, i ne oridge has reached a state where any general plan of repairs that will not be a waste of money is impossible."
