These, the service said, were
among 81 persons sent to the hos
pital after home accidents during
the week. Six persons died, five
from falls and one from suffoca-
ton after a fire broke out in his
room.
In accidental poisonings nine
children drank whisky. furniture

an open safety pin and a girl OF
the same age swallowed three-bob-

Highway Bridge
GetsFace.Liftinq
For Final Duty
Must Serve Until
Second New Span
Is Constructed

The old Highway Bridge is get
ting a face lifting, as District
officials look forward to what
presumably will be its final hitch
Of duty.
The city's bridge crew is re-
placing some of the timber floor
panels, and a complete technical
examination is being conducted by
Carl Wilson. who was resident
engineer on the Whitehurst Free
way.
When the new companion
bridge is completed, the old span
will be closed for several weeks
for a complete inspection of the
flooring, and a whole new asphalt
surface.
New Span Nearing Completion.
Completion date for the new
east bridge is now set at March l.
When that bridge opens, it is
planned to make the old span a
one-way crossing. southbound,
with three lanes of traffic.
AS it looks now the old bridge
will have to serve for at least five
to ten years more. pending con-
struction of the second of the new
twin spans proposed to replace it.
Mr.. Wilson's technical report is
expected to be ready in about six
weeks.
The old bridge is "in excellent
condition, considering its age"
according to Engineer of Bridges
Harry R. Howser.
1t was completed In 1904, at a
cost of $1,221,OO0. The east
bridge, which contains the most
modern engineering features, will
cost about $6,00o.000.
When the old bridge was built,
it had a steel buckle plate floor.
covered with concrete. That floor
failed under an increasing truck
load, and it became necessary in
1928 to replace it with the lighter
floor at cost of 100000.
This was constructed of seven
inch creosoted timber, covered
with sheet asphalt. It was built
to last at least 20 years.
Still in Fair Shape.
The floor is still considered in
fairly good shape, but has suf-
fered some deterioration because
Of leakage Of water through the
asphalt. Workers began to re-
place a number of the timber
panels about four years ago. Now,
about 40 per cent Of the panels
have been replaced.
The bridge crew works from
9:30 to $3.50 during the day, in
order not to interfere with rush.
hour traffic.
The District has spent about
half the original cost of the bridge
on maintenance new flooring,
painting and minor repairs-or
about 100000.
District officials anticipate that
dividing the 40-foot width of the
bridge into three lanes all going
the same way will make the cross
ing much less of a hazard. besides
speeding the flow of traffic.
