This time had expired, and the street committee was ordered to inform the street rail. way company that they would either have to repair the bridge and keep ii in good condition or cease using it.
 The crossings of the city also came in for bit of discussion, owing tc the had condition in which some O them are said to be, and 1t was orderc'' that the street committee be allowed to proceed immediately in the matter of repairing them.
