CASTOR BAY FOOTBRIDGE.

(To the Editor.) n Sir :7 ln re P ly to the letter of Messrs. Quwtley and Thomas re removal of the steps from the footbridge. 1 am directed to ask you .to 'be good enough to publish the resolution passed by the Takapuna • T ?if g which resolution was in tihe .possession of Messrs. Quartley and Thomas -when they wrote to you. Uae resolution is as follows:—"That the Castor Bay syndicate be notified that, subject to legal advice, the Council proposes to stop the footbridge over the Wairau against traffic, if the necessary works to render same safe are not carried out within 21 days of the notice, and that a copy of tiie correspondence be forwarded io the Waitemata County Council and the Public Works Department." The matter originally came before my council in a letter from the engineer to the Waitemata County Council in which he drew attention to the dangerous state of the bridge and suggesting that steps should be taken to have dt pulled down at once. A copy of this letter was sent to Messrs. Quartley and Thomas with a note that the Takapuna Borough Council had no control over the footbridge, and were not consenting parties to its erection. As no reply was received to this letter, after the lapse of a month, the council passed the above resolution, which was communicated? to Messrs. Quartley and Thomas on the 18th ult.—T am, etc., S. BRITTAIX BULL, Town Clerk.
