We have asked several parties to take it over from us, but as there is no prospect of the work being done until next summer, there is no one cares about advancing us the moaeywe have paid, and we think, under, the circumstances, it is only iair. that, the Council should do- so. By "granting the above request you will oblige . , ; ■■■-. YOTJKGSK. & IiAING. P. B.— The total sum we have spent on the bridge is £36 1 6s 9d. Proposed by Or Thompson, seconded by Or Richardson, That this Council j lake over the contract from Messrs Younger and Laing for the Derby street bridge and works, and that the contractor's outlay and deposit be re- ' funded after a satisfactory report be received from the Engineer.-^Oarried.
