I am of opinion that it would be useless Expense to build a stone parapet upon the present bridge, I am directed by His Excellency the Governor in Council to request you to have a strong wooden railing put up as soon as you conveniently can, the cost of which is to be included in your Abstract for the Contingent expences of the coming month.
