ENGINEERS FIND
BURNSIDE BRIDGE
IN SAFE CONDITION
Neither a $6,000,000 bond issue
for a new bridge to replace the pres
ent Burnside structure, nor a bond
Issue of $500,000 to make extensive
repairs on the old bridge will be
placed on the ballot at the coming
general election. The old bridge
will be continued in use, probably
for two or three years more. In the
opinion of consulting engineers.
When the county commissioners met In
conference with John Lyle Harrington,
senior member of the firm of Harring
ton, Howard Ash ; Samuel Murray,
chief -engineer for the Union Pacific
lines, and Charles McGonigle, a local
bridge engineer, Monday afternoon,
fears for the safety of the bridge were
aUayed by their reports. They even in
dicated that the present restrictions im
posed on bridge traffic at this point
might be lessened with safety.
FEARS DISPELLED
"There is nothing material to be done
on the Burnside bridge at the present
time, said Harrington. "I'd be tempted
to raise the limit from three ton to five
ton loads. I would keep off the struc
ture any unusual loads, such as trains
of cars, and crowds of spectators at
times of races, etc.. but trucks with
trailers are admissible.
"The structure Is not in a dangerous
condition. It is a condition that may
become dangerous, but it will give evi
dence of this In ample time so that the
public may be thoroughly protected.
"On the main structure the traffic
speed should be held down to five miles
an hour and heavy traffic should be
spaced. The ordinary budget should
take care of the' outlays required oil
this bridge. No more than six months
should pass without a careful and thor
ough inspection."
WOtfiLB POLICE BRIDGE
Samuel Murray's report recommended
policing of the bridge, limit of speed fo
not more than 10 miles an hour, frequent
Inspection, renewal of several floor
beams, reinforcement of some counter
members. He estimated that this could
be done Inside of $40,000 and that with
these repairs the bridge could be kept
in use foraXrom three to five years.
Engineer. McGonigle recommended
that the present limitation of loads to
not more than three-ton trucks be kept
in force.
The commissioners, relieved of the
necessity of formulating a bond pro
posal to go on the ballot at the next
election, decided to hold a further con
ference Tuesday, while the' consulting
engineers are still at hand, to determine
a system for rigid and regular inspec
tion at stated periods. It Is probable
they will also consider the economic ad
vantage of putting a concrete floor on
Burnside bridge and probably on Haw
thorne bridge also, as It was stated that
the present system of wooden floors
costs the county approximately $800 a
month at each bridge.
