the difficulty of doing so satisfactorily
the cost was considerable. I may say
that on the whole thee work has been
'done very well and. is a credit to the
county. I may add that I have given
instructions to have some rapidly gr wing
trees planted at the sides of th ap-
proaches at both ends of the bride, and
sown in good clean grass, so that chile
they add a little to the beauty f the
place they will with their roots stre igth-
en the embankments. -It was els con-
sidered necessary to have some ri -i-rap
work to protect the northwest corn'r of
the masonwork. The stones us4d in
loading the wagons for testing wer put
there. The cost of the whole without
repairing the wing wall is about $7,294.
The bridge at Bounillers required
repairs on the east abutinent which I
had done at a cost of $7. I regret to
have to say thet this bridge is nowI very
much decayed, and will need to 'b • re-
built before long, as I consider it ie not
safe for heavy teaming. I believe t has
decayed quicker because it was co4-tar-
red before it was dried out in the heart.
The appreaches to Help's bridge were
repaired and the bolts tightened,
cost in all $9:50. The 'floor will te-
quire some slight repairs. • 'TM ap-
proaches and hand -railing of the God-
erieh bridge were repaired, at a c st of
$11.90. Port Albert bridge was re-
paired, costing $4.50, Allen's b idge
