of the previous location. The Road Bridge can then be built to

a much lower level carrying the Road Way on rolled beams and by

slightly modifying the alignment of the Road this bridge can

also be placed in the solid and thus provide a cheaper substitu-

-te for Mr. Eves' design.

Bridge No. 4. All the wells have now bean sunk to

depths from 35 to 40 feet and have gone down for about twelve

feet into the decomposed granite. This is water logged and is

really no better than course sand, the Kaolin in it gets

separated and disolved in sinking and the wells have given a

good deal of trouble. This has been partly due to their not

having been started all together or in batches. No. 8 is out

of the vertical. The ground all around has sunk and is broken

up badly and although the founds will carry the weight I do not

propose to trust to that alone but to safeguard from any lateral

movement of the soil that may take place, by piling with hard

wood piles set at a rake all round and to platform to them in

order that the piles themselves ray take weight if required.

This will obviate the putting in of the struts shown in your

plan but it will necessitate putting the platform on too high a

level for the columns shown in your design so that I propose

building piers with the stones taken from the abandoned bridge

which are now lying at site and keeping the colurns for the

use elsewhere. The piers will I think give a better distribution

of weight on the skew span and will not be higher than sixteen

feet.

Bridge No. 6. The crack in the wing wall has not

gone further since September. The abutments and wings of this

bridge are of lime concrete with plums and have a skin of

masonry in cement on the outside or road side only. At the

back the concrete was shuttered in the same way as for cement

concrete. The lime concrete consists of a fat lime mixed with

red earth which is unburned. The concrete sets moderately under

these conditions but cannot stand water and soon rots. The
