I think it advisable to place the following bridges under contract to be rebuilt as soon as possible in 1996: Jamestown bridge to be re- placed by one span 110 feet clear; Day's bridge with one span 120 feet clear; For- syth's bridge with an 18 foot span; Bel - grave bridge with a span about 25 feet clear. The superstructure cf the small bridge at Zetland should be replac- ed and I think tau be built of timber ob- tainable from old bridges. The super- structure of the bridges named should be of steel and concrete abutments, with the exception of Zatlaud bridge. I think these bridges will be snffieient to undertake for rebuilding until it can be ascertained how the spring floods pass. The County Gaaler reported 12 prison • ers confined in goal, and asked for some alterations in the building. Matter was deferred till January meeting.

The first use of gas in a place of pub- lic annusenmut was in the Lyceum the- ater in London in 1803.
