Abstract
A SUBJECT of great importance to the general A public is the safety of the thousands of bridges by means of wvhich our railways cross roads, rivers, and other railways. Probably it occurs to few railway travellers to consider the complexity of the design of each bridge they cross and the organisation required to inspect, test, and maintain every bridge in a condition suited not only to the traffic for which it was originally designed, but also to the increased weights and speeds which have since been introduced. It is but natural that differences of opinion should arise between the railway companies which have to pay for their erection and maintenance, and the Board of Trade which has to satisfv itself that they are safe.
