The bridge called Morrison's having become so dangerous had been closed, and a temporary one was placed alongside it for traffic whilst a new bridge (the tenders for which have been called for) is erected. The late rains have carried away the temporary bridge, and the old one has had to be patched up for traffic. It is so dangerous that a light is left burning every night.
