We recommend that a thorough inspection of the steel structure to determine the condition of the paint be made once a year. Where such inspection discloses rusting of the metal, the metal should be thoroughly cleaned with scrapers and wire brushes and touched up with preferably the same kind of paint as was used for the original second field coat. This inspection should also be directed toward the discovery of accumulations of dirt and trash that will hold moisture and so hasten the destruction of the paint. All such accumulations should be removed.
