Bridge Maintenance Crew Responsible for Maintaining
Traffic When Structures Wash Out or Become Unsafe

hours day and if disaster strikes
in the night, these men are ready
to go on the job at an hours no.
tice to place the disabled bridge
in usabe condition.
The routine duties of the bridge
maintenance crews are just as
important as the emergencies in
making the highways safe. They
include the Strengthening or re-
placing of weak girders and pill
ing, the reflooring of structures,
repairing masonry, painting and
maintaining culverts and drain
age plus the constant checking
and inspecting of bridges for de-
fects.
Most of the bridge mainten-
ance employees have been with
the Highway Department for
many years. 1t is interesting to
note that three members of the
same family - the Hartmans -
have completed over 20 years of
service. Grover A. Hartman,
bridge superintendent and his
brother, Durward, foreman,
have been with the department
80 years while Growers son,
Ralph, a foreman, has recently
rounded out his 22nd year.

The club leaders receive spec

Ammon.
When bridge is washed out
by flood waters, weakens or col
lapses because of too-heavily
loaded trucks or freak accidents,
a disruption of the normal flow
of traffic invariably occurs. The
disabling of a structure over a
stream, regardless of sizes, can
close a road completely with re-
sulting detours, temporary bridges
and other inconvenience to the
motoring public.
In such emergencies, a force of
skilled craftsmen, seldom seen by
the car driver, is busy behind the
scenes within a few hours utiliz-
ing its knoW-how to repair or
rebuild the bridge in order to re-
store it to service at the earliest
possible moment. This crew of

That picture for the local area
is expected to follow the pattern
that has been established for the
country as a whole since 1920.
The major trend that has been
established shows fewer farms and
fewer farmers cultivating more
land each year.
This trend is the result of a
process of mechanization, to-
gether with a general migration
of one-time farming population
to the cities.
The biggest casualties in this
process, possibly. have been the
horses and mules, of which there
were Is million on American
farms in 1920. In 1945, that fig
ure had been cut to IL million.
while the number of tractors had
risen from 246,000 to 2,422, 900.
This years count is expected to
confirm the notion that the ma
chine age is here to stay.
