The Statement, as laid before the Clyde Town Council at its last meeting, shewing the total cost of the Clyde Bridge—some L 5760, and the weekly takings for tolls, some 1.8 per week, must be pleasing to all interested. From the revenue point of view it must be more than gratifying, as it incontestibly proves that when the direct road from Butcher’s Gully is made, and as summer approaches, with increased traffic from all directions, the revenue will not alone be sufficient to cover interest, but will leave a balance to he set aside as sinking fund to pay off tbe capital. We ever held the opinion that the Clyde ■ Bridge would be a reproductive work, and so far as things are gone, our prognostications wei - e correct.
