The Campbellferd Bridge was discus- ed at the nomination cf county counicillors lu that village and s)me interesting in- [or mation was given. The engineer got $675. Mr las Dickson discussed the bridge questiôn, claiming that there had been money wasted in letting it at such a high tender The Locomotive & Machine Co, ,MoDtreal, tendered for $15,782, The tender of aIl the other contractors xvas $2o ooo or over. The engineer cxnployed stated that the Wedell bridge was tronger and the contract went to %Wýedell Af ter this, however. they cut and carved the plans and used oId walks and old needle beams, and when tiie DicksonBros. found eut thîs, they submitted another tender whieh was not entertajned,- La- heir-sec- ond tender they offered $775 for the old bridge, and their t"nder wae a littie over $i cao. ,he prescrit brid e cgst over 82 i,000 as it s ands. and hie claimed, that it could ho built for $î4.Oooqjeavi h old bridge out of consideration altogether. Hi-sDconltenlion- was that Élie original con- tract had becii broken, and that conse- quently their sc md tender in whbich they submitted plans for a stronger bridgec, should have been considered, and that more wspaidfor th! ridgeas it is ha bhouid have been paid for an cout-an-outý new structiurO lthcernent walks.
