- The— ii-e-ro;Woi presented hie report on certain
bridges, tbe most important being High Bri Age,
Stour. Tule bridge bee been very caretuily watcoed
and examined slum the last yessierm, and • continual
subsidence was found to by ruler on. Toe committee
decided to pull down the Whole of the structure, but
as goon es ilia work was begun the bridge gave way
(on June WO) and fell MO the bed of the river. It
appears from the evidence of men who worked at the
building of this bralgo boat It was erected in the year
1835. Two plena fore new bridge, one of iron and
one in brick, were laid before the committ .e Cl their
meeting to-day, and the committee hare decided to
recommend the Court to built at Iron bridge at au
estimated wet of not excseding £1,500. To. trio.
mines ask for authority to at one.. advertise I.r
tenders and enter into contract for the work. The
committee recommend the Court I, raise the sum on
mertemge, as in the case of the Woodeloed and Back-
water Bridgeo, cud with this view, If the report ii
adopted, the committee would recornmead that the
county treasurer be authorised It allow the county
surveyor to draw on accmot such some as may be
necessary to carry OD the work till the mortgage can
be effected.

to call your attention to the fact that the bye-law with
regard to ex waive loading le systematically being broken

ment the mein roads over which the load. ere convoyed
are greatly dammed, and we would respectfully rok the
Court to take the matter into their constderation with •
owl, to erecting a weighbridge. in order that the bye-
law may be effectaelly carried out.--Si•nrd on behalf of
U.. Dowd. Cituaoi H. Boxo (Chairman). P. E. L Beim
Your Committee have no power to compel the erection of
weightridsse, thie being a euti.ct which the Croat,
Surveyor called attention to in his report presented at
lb* teat seriont. The L vial Board n( Scranig• have
pow., on irr the Public Health Act of 1873, we. 188.
To provide horse. aid globose for weighing carte. cod
your committee recommend that the Clerk of the Now
do crnimunlcate with the Sw.nsge Authority on the
subject of the memorial. and urging thern to adopt
measures which will ensure an observance of the bye-
laws..
With reference to the weighbridge for the Swanage
district, which the committee said they had no power
to compel the erection of, Mr. Osoaus Born said It
would no doubt be in the recollection of the Court
that the County Sarveyor spoke of that particular
road running through the Swanage district., being
In • very unsatisfactory state, and the whale of the
allowance from the county was ksocked off In the
Lad half-year. Since then the Wareham High-
way Board had expended • large stun in
so isavouring to put It In such a state
se to meet with the County Barman, approval.
They were no doubt aware that the roads at Swaaage
were greatly Injured by the heavy loads. The
matter had been referred by the Highway Baird to
the police. Also to the Stirverov with losernetions to
take actko in the matter. The whole power of the
law was paralysed because there was no weighbridge
on which thews vehicles could be tested. Ti,. Ware-
ham Highway Board bad been In communication with
the Loc.ll Goverameat Board, but from the rtply he
