The bridge was a matter of absolute necessity, and since a vote had appeared in aid on the Estimates, action must be taken at once to secure the completion of the work. After discussion each Council appointed a committee of throe with power to engage an engineer to advise as to site, description of bridge, cost. etc.. and to report to the councils.
