THE NEW BRIDGE.

PLANS NEARING COMPLETION. EARLY START PROBABLE. "Early in May the borough engineer, Mr R. Worley, reported that tho condition of the deck of the traffic bridge was causing him grave concern, and that major repairs involving the closing of (lie Hamilton tratllc bridge for some time were becoming tnorc urgently necessary,” reported the town clerk, Mr W. L. Waddel, to Hie Borough Council last evening. "As a result, the council, deeming it an unsuitable time, for financial reasons, to attempt to erect a bridge nearer the centre of the town, reopened negotiations with the adjoining counties for the erection of a bridge at No. 1. A basis 'Of contributions covering the cost was quickly arrived at,, but owing to delay on the part of the Government who would not commit themselves until just recently, no finality was reached. *

"The controlling authority, the Waikato County Council, is now completing its plans and it may be expected that an application for Hie warrant will be made at an early date and that within the next two or three months the work will be in hand.”
