Since there are practically no plants for doing such work in bridge. shops--in fact there are no plants for cleaning steel by any process--any engineer who decides to call for thorough cleaning must expect to pay an additional sum for such work, which, if the work be of small extent, will be disproportionately great in comparison with the work actually done; but if the work be of great extent the incidental cost of the plant will make but a small item in the total cost.
