mation.

foundations as constructed.

(ii) list of contracts for bridges and culverts or

portions of same with dates of commencement and completion (if completed)

(iii) List of bridges and culverts in which any

settlement has come to your knowledge with a

statement of the amount of settlement and dates of

observations.

(iv) Whether you have been able in any case to dis-

cover any defective materials or workmanship

which may have contributed to the defects which

have revealed themselves.

With regard to (i) it would be sufficient if

the dra ings were produced at the time of our inspection

by the Engineer who is immediately supervising construction

work in any district and I would ask you to be good enough

to arrange for that officer to he in attendance with the

drawings and to give us any information that we may require
