At the Borough Council meeting thi» evening it was decided to ask the Minis* ters of Railways and Marine to take steps to provide for the safety of the Buller Bridge, which is endangered by serious erosion of the river bank. The bridge is on the main highway to and from Westport. 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 race meeting, will travel overland to-morrow. They will have to travel on foot some distance between the slips. Cars will meet them on the other side of the slips.
