STANTON BRIDGE
County Engineer Grubb Makes lnycsti-
gai,on or It's Condition

County Engineer Charles l.. Grubb hns
been making detailed investigation of
the SO called dry bridge" at Stanton,
which has lately been placarded with
notices warning all trucks loaded in excess
OF four tons that they use the bridge at
their own risk, in view of the weakened
condition of tho structure.
The bridge was erected about twenty
years ago, with through-truss span OIL
100 feet, and designed for maximum load
of So tons when built. Although ITS ca
pacity is much reduced through wear, 1t
has nevertheless been subjected to LOADS
up to 1919 tons. ;.
In working out the comparative LOADING
capacity of floor and of truss, the some
what odd conclusion was reached that IL
the floor were to be stiffened to the point
where it would carry the present load, the
result would be that the bridge might
break down as a whole, instead OF the floor
in spots.
The br tge is n relic of an earlier era IN
trans ,crtation, and although of ample
canacitv when new for the maximum
traffic requirements, is now both outworn
an dout of date.
A concrete structure with three arches
of SO feet span is the only permanent So
