UNSAFE HIGHWAY BRIDGES II
VERMONT.
(From the Barre Times)


Another Vermont highway bridge has
collapsed of its own decrepitudo, and the
ruins swept into the Water below. 1t hap
pened in the town OF Sear-burg in south
ern Vermont Luckily no one was on the
bridge at the time of the collapse and the
structure of ~ years standing carried
down neither person nor property. An
interesting sidelight, however. is the
statement that of two automobile parties
who crossed the bridge earlier in the
day. one had to stop and replace some
planks before he could drive his vehicle
across the structure. Not great while
after these cars had passed the bridge
went down. The incident. not serious in
its consequences, yet very grave I'm its
possibilities, ought to spur the sclectmen
of every town in Vermont To do now
that which thev ought to have done
months ago and at frequent intervals
since; that is. to make an inspection Of
every bridge structure in their jurisdic-
ton with a view ~ determining the safe
ty Of the public highways. It is very Cun-
able neglect which allows bridge Ia
collapse and fall of its own weight even
though the bridge he not located on IA
main highway Of travel and remote from
thickly settled habitation. We presume,
however, there are other structures in
Vermont which would he found to be un-
safe for the heavy traffic to which they
are now subjected by the largely increas-
ed travel Of the summer months When
one of those bridges collapses with its
human load. We may find occasion to re-
gret our carelessneSs in looking after the
safety of the highways when there was
plenty of time to do the work. To fore
fend such a distressing state of mind,
and to safeguard human life why not
make the bridge inspection now. when
the roads are being put in shape for
