G BRIDGE COMMITTEE A meeting of theGrangetown Bridge Committee was held at the Town-hall, Cardiff, on Monday. Mr. W. Sanders presided, and there were present.: —Messrs. Stevens, Hurley, Mildon, Brain, Vaughan, Morel, D. Jones, P. Price, Trayes, and Dr. E. Jones. Mr. PETES PEICE, who took his seat for the first time on this committee, put his ideas on the sub- ject in the form of a letter, which was read by the town-clerk. He thought it very desirable that such a road should be made, independent of the ques-1 tion between the town and the Tuff Vale Railway. ] It would he necessary to prepare the Bill before the 30th inst. He suggested that the corporation build the bridge and make the roads without seek-1 ing the co-operation of the Bute or the Windsor Estate. Powers should be sought from Parliament to acquire land on the side of the proposed road, which could be bought now at its present value, and re-sold at the vastly increased value which it would attain when the new road was made, as was done in Custom House-street, by which means the road would not cost the town a penny. Mr. BltAIN was of opinion that this suggestion was not feasible. It would at the same time be opening the question on quite a new basis. Mr. VAUGHAN said that no doubt the scheme would recoup the corporation ultimately if they could get the land, but it would cost as much as the land to get the Bill through Parliament. Ultimately it was unanimously decided not to move from the position alrendy taken by the com- mittee, which they considered of the highest im- portance. The CHAIRMAN reported that on the 19th inst. tho mayor, town-clerk, boroujh engineer, and him- eelf had an interview with Sar W. T. Lewis, when it was arranged that a nev road should be in- serted in the Parliamentary notice for the Bill, the road to run from Kent-street to the new main road. The committee, having confirmed this, re- considered the question as to the width of the pro- poseci bridges over the River Taff and the Glamor- ganshire Canal, and adhered to their former resolution that the movable portions of the bridges should be 30ft. wide, and the fixed portions 40ft. wide. The committee then discussed in private the negotiations which had taken place with Sir W. T. Lewis, tho agent of the Marquess of Bute, and Mr. Forrest, agent of Lord Windsor,on the subject, and the following resolutions were eventually passed :— That Lord Bute be respectfully requested to comtrnct all the roads upon the 11\1111 belonging to his lordship, cUllcurrelltly with the cOllstruetioll of the bridges which are required for thó purposes of the new roarls and bridges; to give reasonable access by means of roads from Lord Windsor's property over tiie lands of Lord BULe to the new road, No. 3, proposed to be made; also that Lord Ðute convey to the curpcration all pro- perty or lauds. including ground rent.s, of four houses in H..rro.by-streol" and that vested in the Glamorgan- shire Canal Company, which may be required by the corporation for the new roads and bridges, in which his lordship and his trustees have the reversion that Lord Bute and his trustees do everything in their power to assist 1he corporation in obtaining Parliamentl1.ry powers for the purposes included In the Parliamentary notice. Resolved that the town-clerk communicate the effect of the above resolution to Lord Bute, and, in case it i9 necessary, that the chairman, deputy-chairman, with the town-clerk and borough engineer, be appointed a deputation to confer thereon with Sir W. T. Lewis. That Lo d Windsor be respectfully desired to increase his contribution towards the cost of the bridges, as the amount promised by his lordship will be the entire cost thereof to him, especially as he is not rated to any great extent in the borough. That Lord Windsor and his trustees do everything in their power to Msist the cor. poration in obtaining Parliamentary powers for the purposes included ill the Parliamentary notice. That the secretary of the Taff Vale Railway be written to. asking him to request his directors to receive 11 deputation from the corporation to discuss the pos- sibility of devising some arrangement by which the Grangetown Bridge toll for toot passengers could ba abolished until the proposed new bridges and approaches shall have been constructed. There was no other business of interest;
