The New Bulls Bridge.
In reference to the new Balls bridge (he Advocate has received the following letter from Mr John Stevens, M.H.R -I observe by ihe reports of the last meeting of the Rangitikei and Manawatu County Councils respectivefy, that the mmb a rs of 'these 10311 bodies are und«r the impression that the pronosed bridge to be erected over the Rangitik'i river afc Bulls will not b& sufficiently strong to carry the Sindon tramway traffic, in the event of the Hn^ beins? extended to Bolls. In order, therefore, that there may ho no further misapprehension upon the subject I desire fco quote a paragraph from Mr C. E. Fulton's letter of 19 in-t. in reply to mv onquiry as to whether or not I had been mistaken in seating that the bridge was design d to carry the tramway if it were thought desirable to me it for this purpose. " The bridge will carry the tramway all right. I may be trustftfl to know the weight of tho engines and loaded waggons. The Manawatu Ciunty bought their principal locomotivo from th<» Manawatu Railway Company when I was chief engineer and looomotive snperinten' dent '* I trust ■ that thig may bo satisfactory to the local bodies concerned. .
