SWAN STREET MONIER BRIDGE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS    

Sir, - "The Argus" of the 17th contains

a paragraph reporting that attention was   drawn at the Richmond Council meeting to the length of time that the Swan-street   bridge was closed while having a new   roadway, on the Monier system, con-         structed upon it. As there seems an ob-     vious implication that the delay in re-   opening the bridge, and the character of       construction adopted, are in some way as-   sociated, will you permit me to state, for     the information of the public, that the     new roadway, so far as the reinforced con-   crete work was concerned, was fit for       traffic on May 15, having been completed     within the contract time of 14 days, and       differing in no respect from its usual valu- able characteristic of very rapid construc- tion. That the bridge was not open for   traffic before this was, doubtless, due to      

some delay in other portions of the work in which we were in no way concerned. -

Yours, &c., for the Monier Pipe Com-    

pany, JOHN GIBSON,  

Managing Director, Richmond, June 19.
