The stone Bridge Again.

To hs Edif0r Of me Regisfer
SrR:-In your answer TO Working
MANS article, in Sundays REGISTER. you
leave out the most important Of the eX-
PLANTATION for the dilitOriness Of Council or
citv officials in this stone bridge business
While the City Engineer has been prepar
inc the plans. etc. why has not Council,
the Clerk. or Mayor, or all, prepared the
bonds. and put them on the market. II
does look as though there was a studied at
tempt at delay in this matter Those
whose duty II is 10 carry out this matter
should be urged t0 act at once
PROGREss.
The failure TO have the bonds printed,
and in the hands Of the Clerk, lies at the
door Of the First Branch Of Council The
Second Branch has made two attempts %
fiji the vacant places in the commissioners,
and has also passed resolution providing
for the printing Of the bonds, but tho
chronic indispOsition Of First Branch mem
bers TO attend sessions has made an un-
necessary delay. However, the delay is
more apparent than real, as no one can tell
lust how many bonds to sell until the bids
for the construction Of the bridge are in.
Until an approximate figure is known, IL
would not be wise 10 put the bonds on the
market-ED.
