EGAN AVENUE BRIDGE.

There is a rumor circulating TO
bridge on Egan avenue is in a con
dition of collapse, and that the work
was practically a failure. The mat
ter has been in the mouths of the
public some time. though nothing
has been said TO officials who are
responsible for the condition.
When the work on the bridge was
completed late last fall. Mr.. Trim
mer, said this morning. the public
was anxious to make use of the high
way, so, to accommodate them. the
bridge was reinforced from beneath
with small timbers. II was later
seer that they were being bent and
broken by what was thought TO be
weight from above. They were re-
moved, and a plank placed along the
roof i'm the middle of the 14-foot
span, and Axe posts, we're set eight
feet apart beneath II, footed firmly
on the concrete bed of the stream.
The bed, or apron, is six inches thick.
The roof is thirteen to fourteen inch
es in thickness, strongly reinforced
with continuous cross section bars of
reinforcing steel.
Mr.. Trimmer says that the bridge
should really not have been used at
all this winter. but should have been
left uncovered to properly cure and
set. The weight of earth, however.
together with the heavy traffic OF
coal, has been going over it almost
from the moment the forms were re-
moved. He thinks, however, that
ne damage has resulted from the use.
Late in the winter observers saw
that the supports left in the bridge
were broken down by the apparent
weight of the settling span. or top
slab. Cracks appeared both in the
slab, and along the sides where the
wings join the body of the bridge.
The weight beneath the areh was
so great as to crush the five posts.
Axe inches in dimensions. and when
this was seen me- winked at each
other and considered that they told
you So"
Well, the explanation Is simple,
All men know, who plant things in
wet places that the ground heaves
with the frost. In other words,
frost, acting on the water in the
ground, turns it to ice. And the
same men know that the ice takes
more space than did the original

ties and corrections has recommend

Elk Point man. be paroled from the
Sioux Falls penitentiary, where he

has served a period of sixteen years.
Forest City - Comparatively few
sheep in the section near Forest City
were killed by the severe winter. but
those which We're killed are said tC
be attracting the coyotes in large
numbers. and bounty hunters stand
a good opportunity to reap a rich
reward for a little effort.
Colome-Mrs. JamesC horteborsky
wife OF a Colome man, was burned tC
death in here home. II is believed
that while mentally deranged She de
liberately set fire to her clothing for
the purpose of committing suicide.
She had been i'm poor health for some
time.
Bridgewater - The seeding OF
wheat. which is ten days later than
last spring, is in progress in this 10.
cality. Owing TO the high price OF
q q wheat. ranging from $1.75 to
81 per bushel. the usual acreage sown
to this cereal will be materially cut
down. while that of corn will be
largely increased The heavy wet

liquid. With this condition. the
ground is heaved.
This condition obtained beneath
the apron. or concrete floor under
the bridge. 1t can be seen on the
walls. which We're placed first. and
run down to Il firm footing beneath.
that the floor has moved on the
walls. And that was due TO the
frost - h~eaying for the floor was
surely in a wet place. 1t was dur
ing this heaving that the posts crush
ed together like piledriven stakes.
When one considers the matter he
must see that the slab at the tor
could not break. nor the sides settle
10 cause the breaking stakes. Posts
set AT the sides. right along the wall.
We're bent as well as those i'm the
center. If the arch was breaking
down this would be impossible. for
there could be no movement down
ward OF the top close against the
walls. And the top slab could not
settle there. II would have TO sheer
OFT the cross-seetion of thirteen inch
es OF cement. and II each nine inches
one or more steel rods. each 3, inch
IN diameter. Mr.. Trimmer esti-
mates that the steering resistance M
the edge of the wall would be 100
900 pounds TO the lineal foot.
Cracks appearing in the top slab
were also remarked. Rest assured
they were intentional. All men know
that heat expands and cold contracts
Cement Is no exception, as you who
have put down cement sidewalks
without allowing for expansion know
oy a place or two where the walk has
ouckled and reared up. AT inter
walls of a few feet. each pouring Of
cement was retained by a partition
or dam until it was set. Then an
other section was poured i'm the same
way. When the cold of winter con
tracted this material. there were
transverse cracks visible. Instead OF
weakening the root they lend
strength to it.
The fact that the posts crushed
beneath the tremendous pressure is
rather a proof of the strength of the
top slab. Had the slab been weak
even with twice its weight. ii must
nave been broken upward by the i'm
mense force behind the strong posts
But they broke, and the top did not.
n The walls are o cracked. And
the cracks at the point where the
wings Join the main structure are
rather a condition of safety than OF
danger, only they should have beer

been made by other causes.
