A FAMILIAR OBSTRUCTION.
TO BE DESTROYED AT LAST. The removal of tie barricade at tlitf entranco to the Queen's 'Wharf wag strongly urged by Mr. E. Fletcher soma time ago when he was a private meffi-* her of tie Harbour Board, and one of his earliest acts as chairman has been to cause plans to be prepared for carrying out this object, and making otheo rearrangements in-the immediate vicxinity. The plans, which have been prei pared by the board's engineer (Mr. Marchbanks), were approved at last night's meeting of the board, and it was resolved by 7 votes against 2 to . carry' them, into effect. With the • barricade will go the bookstall which forms a part of it, and a new bookstall of a much more pleasing appearance will be erected just inside the big iron gates. It is to be a wooden kiosk witt' glazed windows and red-tiled roof, and it will comprise, besides the bobkstalL a public telephone bureau and a covered vestibule between tie two. The kiosk' will be so placed that the traffic through' the great gates will pass on either side of it. Elegant new sentry boxes are to. be substituted for the rather ancient and unsightly ones now in use.
