A NEW TERMINAL STATION. Replying to a in regard to wood-paving, at the' meeting of the City Council last evening, the engineer (Mr. W. H. Morton) stated that the paving'of Post Office Square was being delayed pending the authorisation of important tramway track alterations in the locality. A line is to be laid connecting Customhouse Square and."Nyillis .Street, and between this point'and'Post Office Square a number of leads and extensions are to bo laid down. In order to provide necessary accommodation for. traffic, the original plans of this work have been altered to a considerable extent, as it is now proposed that a number of suburban lines shall have their termini in the neighbourhood of tho Post Office. . Plans of the alterations and extensions proposed (Mr. Morton stated) have been prepared, and will be submitted to the Government for approval next week. As soon as they have been approved the work will be gone on with. . Tho work of wood-blocking in Willis Street and increasing the width of. that thoroughfare, .the engineer remarked, had been started.Paving material destined for streets adjacent to the Post Office was in hand, and work in this quarter will be commenced when the necessary tramway alterations have,been .sanctioned. . • The Brooklyn and Karon trams and the Wadestown trams (when that line is opened) are among those which will in futuro run to a terminus in the neighbourhood of the Post Office.
