BULLER BRIDGE
SAFETY ENDANGERED.
(By Telegraph.—Press 'Association.)
WESTPOET, 3rd November,
' At the Borough Council meeting tonight it was decided to ask the Ministers of Railways and Marine to take steps to provide for the safety of the Buller Bridge, which is endangered by Ihe serious erosion of the river, bank about the bridge. This is the main highway to and from Wcstport, and a number of people who have been stranded here since Sunday, owing to the Buller road being blocked by damaged bridges and slips, are leaving to-night by boat for Greymouth. Others bound for Christchurch for the Cup Meeting are leaving overland tomorrow. They will have to travel on foot for some distance between the blockages, and the cars will meet them on the other side of the slips.
