Alderman LONDIE remarked thst a few days since
be ha I ocASiOD to crops over the bridge, when it wee
open. It was opened, the ship 'mailed through, and it
was closed in eight minutes, whereas with the old one
it took about half-an-hour.
Mr. DENNIS proposed that Mr. Matheson be called
in to inspect, examine, awl report upon the bridge.
Alderman THOMAS seconded.
Mr. Wattle said he had no faith whatever in Mr.
Matheson. In his opinion this bridge was going to be
an everlasting curse to the town. It wee a diagrace.
Mr. Lovett, having spoken in the same strain, said
he should like to ask the Harbourmaster if the bridge
opened generally to his satisfaction.
The Harbourmaster :1 I should like It to open easier.
Mr. LOVLIL moved as an amendment that Mr.
