The GREIG CLOTHING CO„ East Side Main Street, one door Southof the 'Dominion Bank, - _County Engineer's Rep•ort. The -county engineer laid before the council tenders received for the different beidgee to be built. He reported that he had since last meet- ing received $15 for old bridge sna•-• terial, and than paid the !same iover to the treasurer. Several ,of , the older tree bridges should then.° new floors and joiets early next sum- mer, and le recommended •that where new joists are required that steel ones be used. He had visitnn Bayfield on the lith inst., and in- spected the coperete • work there. He found the north abutment and Pier in gond condition, but the' south abutment was eonsiderably cracked, -whicat he considered was caused by the slid.ing of tthe heavy bank at tnat point. If tne abutment remainain its present condition he thought it could be impaired next summer, and made to ,answer for the support of the superstructure. Instead'of fili- ing the approach with earth, he was of the, opinion tthat an additional span of about 75 feet should be bent to revent a.,ny heavy pres- sure from 'muting against the a- butment. The upper eud of this ad- ditional span should be eupported On. iron jules. The -amount of orders issued et Cc ' the December session is $48�12. Report of 'Engineer Roberts. Mr. Roberts, C. P. R. engineer,. en- gaged to inspect the defect in the abutment of the new bridge at ntayfield, reported as follows: The concrete- in the structure is we/1 set and is, without doubt, qv to specifications. There is a crack four inches wide in the west rwing wall. The breast wall has moved bodily from tits junction with the west wing wall . and has also Bet- tlgd smile three or four Indies. Both tnese movements will, I am firmly eopvinced, continue until the abutment collapses. There is also a crack in the east wing wall. The formati, n of these cracks and the moveme t and settling ef the abut- ment in icate beyond doubt that the failure Fof the structure was due, not to the quality of the toonerete, but is nirectly ohargeable to its being founded upon m at erial en- tirely unfit, for the purpose. There is no evajr. in which this tabutraent can be repaired. It should be torn down and rebuilt upon a solid faun - dation. If this cannot be ebtained at •reasonable cost, piles should be. driven. The cost iof a pile founna- . lion would be about $309, Treasurer's Statement'.
