Re Mr Taunton's letter with respect to the proposed viaduct across the upper wharf at Stroud also the intended extensions of the Middle Wharf. Re proposed increase of Wharf room I am of the same opinion as Mr Chapman that if Mr Taunton carries out his promises it will be very convenient for the traders and will not much matter how the Midland Railway Company cross the Upper Wharf. Additional wharf room will give a long frontage which will compensate for that taken from the Upper Wharf by the Bridge. They are getting on with the mudding but rather slowly.
