300 feet In length there being six
60 concroto spans In tho structure.
Until vory recently bridge engineers
and designers did not plan concrete
spans ot greater than 38 foot and
would have thought a man crazy
who planned one longer than that,
but now with heavier re-onforce-ments
and Improved plans longer
spans are possible ,
The ono span In the state which
exceeds that of the six spans across
the Malheur Is that on Myrtle creek
which Is 53 feet in length.
Tho .bridge across Jacobsen's

will be completed about October 1.
