And he describes a report

in, another newspaper of

possible dangers with the
bridge as “irresponsible
sensationalism.”

He says of Friday's lead
story in the Vancouver
Express: “There is.no basis

for such sensatjonal impact.”

Whereas he agrees the
foot-thick suspension cables
are being rechecked as a
result of sudden wire
cracking in a similar. bridge
in the eastern United States,
he says the move is simply a
double check of extensive
tests made over the past four
or five years.

showed them to be suffering
from stress corrosion.

conditions which have to be
present for stress corrosion,

Among such conditions
are weather and atmospheric

still have to be made,
Buckland feels more than
confident.
