The Chairman reported your suggestions to the Committee on Wednesday. They understood that you are willing to contribute £5 towards repairing the bridge on the lines suggested at your meeting. They believe the bridge so repaired will be much strengthened and equal to your traffic but wish to advise you to test it with dead weights when so repaired as the navigation can take no responsibility - the strengthening being done in your interests.
