At Saturday’s meeting of the County Council, Cr Bolton urged that strong endeavours should be marie to have revoked the oider-in-Couneil vesting in the Pahiatua County Council the control of the Manawatu gorge bridge. An .accident might occur and tne onus of repairing or reconstructing the bridge would rest entirely on the County Council. The structure was of more importance to the Bcrotigh of Woodville and County of Waipawa, and they should endeavour to have these bodies compelled to accept a sharo of the responsibility. After some discussion it was resolved that the chairman be authorised to take all necessary steps to have varied the proclamation vesting the bridge in the Council.
