THE SHANNON BRIDGE.
The longer the delay in the construction of the Shannon bridge, the greater will be the cost to the Main Highways Board and the contributing authorities m the maintenance of the punt, which has already cost in the vicinity of 16 per cent of the capital cost of the new bridge. It is °P e “ to question whether th 6 punt service has justified the amount expended on it, for a majority of those who desire road communication with Shannon have preferred to suffer the inconvenience and extra expense of travelling via Koputaroa. The fact that all obstacles and preliminaries to the erection of the new bridge have been removed and that the work is to be put in hand at once, will be welcome news to all concerned.
