_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,
