STREET EXTENSION
BIG TASK AT DUNEDIN (P.A.) DUNEDIN, February 10. Permission for the road transport of certain Items of plant to be used in the Albert Street extension, a big Dunedin roading job, has been received from the Transport Department and the equipment will be sent to Dunedin as soon as possible. Work on the extension will probably be started next week. It was to have started at the beginning of this week, but because of a dispute bet.wen the contractors, McJorrow Brothers, of Ashburton, and the department over permission to bring part of the plant by road, the job was held up. As the position is now, only part of the plant will bo brought to Dunedin by road and the rest will be sent by rail being stripped down to traverse tunnels and the Waitaki bridge. The District Traffic Manager of' the Railways Department (Mr S. G. Howie) said plant similar to that to be used on the Albert Street job had been carried by rail many times for the Ministry of Works.
