 Owing to the great volume of water which comes down the Gila at certain seasons and owing to the wandering g nature of the stream extreme care has to be exercised in the protection of the banks above the bridge to prevent damage to the north end and the ap- proach. During the present year six current deflectors have been placed on the north bank above the bridge. The same idea has been adopted by prop erty owners below the bridge.
 These deflectors are so constructed as to retard the flow along the bank, causing deposition of sediment which gradually fills in below each deflector and helps build up the bank. They have been used with splendid results thus far.
