By-law O:f:ficer
/n ~_dJ
Yours truly,
The Bridge O:f:fice :further recommends that the
weight restriction be removed :from any bridge that is
re-constructed during the three-year period o:f approval.
This would require the passing o:f an amending by-law :for
the purpose o:f removing any bridge concerned :from the
bridges listed in Schedules 1, 2 and 3 to the by-law.
A
copy
The by-law has been approved accordingly
so endorsed, is returned herewith.
.
Recommendations have now been made to this
o:f:fice by the Bridge O:f:fice o:f the Department o:f Highways
respecting approval o:f the by-law, the recommendations
being to the e:f:fect that the by-law be approved :for a
period o:f three years.
This :follows up our letter o:f January 28th,
concerning the above-noted by-law.
Dear Sir
I
