VANCOUVER .(i—Four engin-
cers. said Wednesday two crrors
in calculations caused collapse
of the partly-cdmpleted Second
Narrows bridge which killed 18
workmen.

The mistakes were suggested in
a report submitted to the Royal
Commission investigating the
disaster. The engineers are
Ralph Freeman ond J. R. H. Ot-
ter, both of London, England,
and F. M. Masters and J, R. Giese
of Harrisburg, Penn.

The two outermost spans of the
north side of the bridge over
Burrard Inlet fell June t7. When
the first span collapsed it pulled
the conerete base at the Inner
end out of place, causing | the
second span to tumble, The Do-

one nijscaleulation resulted in

The second was made jn oa

Mr. Freeman said this cacula-

thickness of the beam flanges,
instead of the .653-inch thickness
of the centre webs.

He said if this calculation had
been made properly, attention
would have been called to the
high general stressing of these
beams. The stiffeners ‘would
then have been provided and the

The inquiry was to resume to-
