Acting upon this letter the mem

yesterday afternoon and found it ad-
lvisable to build an eighteen inch
concrete wall along the retainine
wall at the western end of the bridge
The iron stringers where they resi-
on the wall are considerably corrod-
ed and the ends are perfectly good
When the proposed new wall is built
at these good ends Of the bridge
stringers will rest on the top OF the
wall and thereby strengthen the
bridge supports.

said today that as Washington street

alarm. On Tuesday next the court
will formally act regarding the con-
crete wall.
