THE CONTRACT SECURED BY MESSRS,

„NOWARTH" ERSKINE & CO.

On Saturday wa (Straits Times) lännensced that Mesars. Howarth, Erskine and Company, of Singapore, had been ordered by the Shang hai Municipal Council to erect two new steal y bridges at Shanghai at a cost of two hundred. and twenty thousand dollars. The Shanghai Municipality have decided to do away with tha old and insecure wooden structures known as the Garden and Chekiang bridges and replace. them with new steel structures de port

The bow Garden bridge will be a massive

Structure of an ornamental design is keeping with the artistic surroundings of the Bund and will, when completed, consint of two spans of over one hundred and seventy feet each, with a main roadway of forty feat width along each side and a' footway of ten feet width. Provision is made to run double line of tram cars, in the centre of the main roadway, while the entire road surface will be paved with hardwood blocks. There will be over eight hundred and sixty toos of steelwork in this bridge before it is com plated.

The Cheklang bridge is of the lenticular, girder type, and is to have a span of ons hundred and, ninety-six feet. It is also of massive construction to take the load of run- ning tram cars as well as the pedestrian and heavy street traffic. The weight of the steelwork in this bridge will be over three hundred and sixty tons. A feature in the erection of these bridges will be the method adopted in carrying on uninterruptedly the existing road and water borns traffic, and this will be no small task when one con siders the amounts there really are at these paints.

We congratulate Messrs. Bowarth, Erskine, Limited, os having obtained "this contract in open competition with the loading firms, and we wish them every success in its accomplish

ment.
