SYDNEY'S BIG BRIDGE .
THE A'AT. A TELE EXPERT'S. DTSAFA L FOREBODIN' 'CIS. Progress on Hie Sydney Bridge is now so marked that I,lie Iwo ends may meet ere the last quarter of i In' year begins, says the Sydney correspondent of Hie Melbourne Argus. Mr. Brad field, engineer-in-chief, rejoices that when that: stage rear-lied the main dilTi'eulties will cease. There are others who think otherwise. It is true that ihey may not be nearly so well informed, bat they have some attention. This is not surprising’. A city street is never opened up —and there is an average of about one a week —without attracting a group of nneertitieated and self-appointed civil engineers who are aide to tell everybody within hearing just what . ught to be done or avoided. The group advising the public on lhe bridge is much larger. It conveys its views under all sorts of conditions —in clubs, in the streets, cm the trams, trains and ferries. ”The bridge is a blob,” said one of the thousand or more authorities in this classification. “If will never si and tip to its work.” Genuine engineers are also heard expressing thoughts in support. They have not the information justifying their deliverances, but nevertheless say that they are sure Hint the two ends will not meet on llie exact level. “Xo, sir, not by feel." They are equally sure that after a very hot day a cold southerly will chill one side of the bridge while the other remains hot, “and then anything may happen.” When these are confounded by seeing the nreli exactly complete, dire foreboding may cease.
