ResumoSIR WILLIAM ARROL, the famous bridge-builder, born in 1839 at Houston, Renfrewshire, died on February 20 at his residence, Seafield House, Ayr. His great mechanical abilities and his remarkable administrative powers—two qualities not often found associated—enabled him in the space of little more than forty years, for he started on his own account only in 1869, to expand a humble little boiler-repairing shop into the great Dalmarnock works employing some 5000 hands.
