 The red mail box puzzled him, but he struggled with it to get his letter posted. Bremen ar rived before he succeeded. They listened to his story.

KEEP BRIDGES.
FEW FAILURES, NO LOSS OF LIFE,
ON TRUNK ROUTE SPANS SINCE
STATE BEGAN MAINTENANCE.

Bridges require maintenance, just
ike other parts of a highway, but
such work is necessary and profitable,
to judge by figures made public this
week by Commissioner c. M Babcock.
Most of the bridges taken into the
trunk highway system in 1921 were
not designed to carry modern motor
traffic. They could not be built all at
once, SO the State Highway depart
ment organized bridge maintenance
division, and set about to keep them in
service until new ones could be built.
All bridges were given regular in
spection, and repairs made promptly
when needed. In spite of the heavy
traffic, there have been only nine fail
ures among the bridges taken over by
the state in 1921. No loss of life oc-
CURED in any bridge failure. All of
the failures were due to excessive
loads or to vehicles striking the bridge
supports.
OF the bridges taken over by the
state in 1921, 1877 are still in use.
Since that date SIS bridges have been
built by the state, with total length
of 1896 feet and at a total cost of
$6,853,155. A survey recently COM
pleted by the bridge maintenance div
iSion shows that the total investment
in the 1872 bridges, old and new, now
in use in the state highway system is
$40 ,002, 426. Bridges under ten feet
long are not included
There are 26 bridges which are con-
sidered unsafe for the maximum load
of fourteen tons permitted by law,
and lesser road limits, ranging from
2 to 10 tons, have been posted on the
bridge approaches. The survey shows
five bridges less than 16 feet wide, rs
have a 16 foot roadway, 254 are 18 feet
wide, 412 are 20 feet wide, 163 are "a
feet wide, and 402 and "a feet. Mar
row bridge" signs are posted about 800
feet in advance of all bridges 16 feet
wide or less.
The survey shows total of 17.8
miles of bridges in the trunk high
way system. There is a bridge for
every So miles of highway. The aver
age cost of the bridges is $106.3O per
lineal foot. The investment in bridges
averages 81 ,429 per mile of highway.
More than half, or 5712 per cent of
the structures are steel, "a per cent
are concrete, 10 per cent are wood,
and 81 per cent are railroad over
heads of various types.
The oldest bridge in the system is
the covered bridge on T. H. No. So at
Zumbrota built in 1869. This is a
wooden truss structure with clear
span of lie feet Loads are limited
to tons and the Is foot roadway is
not adequate to modern traffic, but
otherwise the bridge is in good con-
dition. The report recommends that
when a new bridge is built, the old
structure be preserved as a historical
monument
One recommendation in the report is
of special interest to county and town.
ship officials; namely, that "a feet be
made the minimum width of roadway
on all bridges in the future. This re-
commentator has in mind the in
creasing popularity of snow removal
on secondary roads in winter.

The most persistent Of all monu

they are multiplied again and again,
forever renewed and yet persistently

them, and thereby the names of their
makers are kept green. They are books
and the things written therein, whose
antiquity makes all ordinary me-
