excavation in widening the cut- ting owing to the treacherous nature of the soil, heavy retain-: ing wails on both sides of the rallway were constructed.

The total quantity of ex- cavated material removed in the construction of the widening and in new work amounts to 548,000 cub, yards.

Carmarthen Town..
Bridge
Yet again the Carmarthen Town Bridge Proposals are held up. Recently, the Carmarthen- shire County Council decided to take away two of the piers of the old bridge, and replace the bio- ken
arches by steelwork, at a cost of $,0001; thus making a cheap temporary 'bridge and res ducing the obstruction to the wa- terway. An order scheduling the bridge as an ancient monument has, however, made this scheme impossible for the present. Some years ago the bridge was de- scheduled on the ground that it was necessary to remove it, be- cause of the danger of nooding through the obstruction caused by the numerous piers and be- cause, it had been so frequently répaired in the last two or three hundred years that little, if any, of the original structure remain ed. It is impossible also to carry out the Carmarthenshire County - Council or the Ministry of Tran- sport schemes while this old brid-
ge is scheduled, as each of the. Echemes required the removal of the old bridge. This bridge has been

tirely for vehicular trame, be- cause of the displacement of the arches in the old bridge by fooda. The temporary bridge is a great- obstruction «on this main road. Last July the ministry rejected the County Council scheme for a high-level bridge to cost 115,- 8901, which would have carried the road from the Eastern side of the rafway ověř böth the rafi- way and the River Towy by an easy gradient to Castle Hill, giv- ing a fine wide road and effect ing a town improvement.
