BRIDGE STEEL
ALL IN PLACE
Rise Causes No Fear;
Framework Able to
Support Self

High waters may come now and
the steel crew and builders Of the
new Gateway bridge will rest easy.
Sunday night at 1880 the last
steel strut was swung into place by
the boom and secured with bolts and
the arch now is able TO support it
self from its concrete piers and no
longer depends on the falsevOrk
pilir. beneath it, according u
bridgemen.
The crew had planned to finish the
construction by oon Sunday but re-
ports indicated that the high water
on it's way down the Rio Grande
would be several hours later than
was anticipated so the extra time
was spent in putting in extra bolts
and rivets as the construction went
along.
The steel crew started extra speed
activities on the report Of high wa
ter after the rains of Friday, work
ing as long as daylight permitted
Saturday and until completion Sun
day night. Crowds Of spectators
watched the speedy erection Of the
arch from the chamber Of commerce
grounds and other vantage points.
With the latest report Of the river
the bridgemen are feeling secure
even about their falsework bridge.
The river was rising slowly Mon
day. but only small amounts Of drift
were coming down. The crest Of
the flood is expected to reach the
bridge some time during the after
mood.
W. J. Schnurbusch. local meteor
~ologist, expressed the opinion that
the rise would be about half-bank-
full. The rise would have x re sew
eral feet higher to reach large drift
wood, he said.
