The tender was for the construction of an arch span of 1,650 ft., and five steel girder approach spans on each side of the harbour, complete
with approach piers, the total length of bridge being 3,770 ft. Abutment towers are also provided flanking the main arch at either end, and rising to a height of 285 ft. above mean sea level.

<h4>The Presidential address Delivered at the First Meeting of the Session, 1930-31</h4>

The Presidential address Delivered at the First Meeting of the Session, 1930-31

It has become a recognised practice nowadays for a newly elected President to commence his duties by composing an address to be read at the first meeting of the session over which he presides, and certainly I have found this to be one of the most difficult tasks I have ever undertaken. In searching for a subject I was at once brought face to face with the extraordinarily wide field of activities in which the Structural Engineer works. I am, however, helped to some degree by the fact that we are to discuss later on this evening the draft of it specification for one of the newer materials which have come to the aid of the engineer in recent years, so I shall make my remarks as short as possible.

<h4>Railway Bridge Construction in Malaya</h4>

Railway Bridge Construction in Malaya

TE purpose of this paper is to discuss details and tendencies of current practice in the design and construction of bridges on the Federated Malay States Railways to allow of comparison with other countries where conditions are similar. It is suggested that a general exchange of summaries of this kind would tend to mitigate the existing unfortunate lack of liaison which causes engineers, even in neighbouring countries, to attack the same problems independently and, therefore, uneconomically.

It was the discussion of the Draft Specification that had been drawn up after two years of deliberation by the Concrete Sectional Committee, and which had been approved by the Science Committee. He called on Mr. W. Muirhead.
