Birkenhead Bridge Decision Weighs Tram and Road Trade
Public Works Committee met at Parliament House to review the Dixesbee Bridge plan. Chief engineer R H Chapman said building a bridge without tram tracks would cost £130,000, cheaper than £165,000 for tram and road traffic. He urged the Tramways Trust to decide on plans, noting ships pass quickly through a bascule design and roads would suffer if only one tram line was provided despite small savings.
