Mr. W Morrison, chairman of the Waitotara County Council and a member of the Main Highways Board: More than that. Mr. Semple: I know, but I'm referring only to big bridges. If you take all the others the number will be something like 2000. Why, some of those bridges are only staying up through force of habit.
