weakness in the insufficient supporting power of the ground
beneath the foundations of some of the structures which cir-
cumstance was specially referred to us when the bridges in
question showed sings of subsidence in 1908.
It was
So far as the masonry and concrete of the various
structures on the Railway are concerned we think it right in view
of the recent date of your appointment to explain that apart from
the type drawings which we originally sent to the Chief Resident
Engineer no questions of the design, working drawings or
execution of masonry or concrete of bridges have ever been
referred to us or been under our supervision in any way.
throughout understood that such matters, as also such questions
of foundations except as above mentioned were to be dealt with
by the local Staff of Engineers employed directly by Government.
Thus the only matters in connection with bridges which
have been under our control have been the design and manufacture
of girderwork in this country as it was from time to time
required under indents.
There is one point connected with the girderwork to
which we ought under the circumstances which have arisen to now
draw your attention, namely, the bearing area of girders on the
masonry. The dimensions of the bearing area were all of course
calculated on the assumption that the abutments would be built
of sound masonry or concrete but under the circumstances which
you have reported as to the quality of these you may think it
advisable that the weights resting on the abutments should be
further distributed which of course could be carried out in
various ways.
To prevent any future misunderstanding we should be
obliged if you would bring this letter to the notice of H. E.
the Governor.
