The Board of Commission ers instructed the County High way Superintendent to engage Boyd Patras of Plattsmouth to sand blast, lead and paint the bridge across Weeping Water Creek southeast of Union. The bridge is a steel structure re cently purchased as a used bridge from the State Dept. of Roads. The blasting and paint ing is an experiment to deter mine whe'her other county bridges should be so-treated. The Board gave instructions for three-quarters mile of new gravel application and spot rocking in School District No. 9. The work is made necessary by the district's consolidation with the Louisville district, a move which is in progress. The Board and Roads Dept. are experimenting with all-steel back wans for bridges, con structing them out of sheet steel obtained when a metal works here went out of business. The Board hones the walls will have longer life and cost less tn maintain and repair than con ventional walls. The Board said Wednesday that the county's road resurfac ing program outlined for this fall is about 90 per cent com- pieiea.
