J. GREER,. Photo by Allan of Stratford Photo by Rev. J. C. Cook of Belgrave EDWARDS' BRIDGE, EAST WAWANOSH. WE herewith present our readers with a couple of views of th9 "Edwards', Bridge" erected during the past summer by the Oounoil of East Wa- wanosh, at lot 37, con. 6 7. It is of a style new to the northern part of the oounty, being of cement concrete, reinforced throughout with steel I beams, rods, and expanded floor metal. The bridge consists of one olear span of 30 feet, and a roadway 10 feet clear in width, supported on abutments with a 5 ft. base and 5 battresses all strongly reinforoed with half-inch steel rods, firmly attached at spaces of 15 incites apart. The superttruoture has a pleasing appearance, the guard walls being neatly pannelled. This style of bridge is muoh stronger than the old style of steel or iron bridges and is some cheaper. The parrying capacity of the bridge is 20 tons on 2 axles for a live load. The oontraotors were Vint & Love, who tendered for complete work, filling and grading approaches and metalling roadway for $095, but as the foundations for the west abutment had to go lower than the plans called for and it was deemed wise to extend the wings on the north side; extras amount- ing to $43 were inourred. W. Watson of Belgrave was a very efficient in- speotor of the construction. Councillor Soott prepared the specifications and plans, the drawing being executed by Fred Scandrett. As there are a large number of bridges in Last Wawanosh under 40 feet, future Oonnoils in build- ing permanent structures are likely to follow the example set by the Council of 1909.
