TRAMWAY WORKS.

» REARRANGEMENT OF SECTIONS. The tramway extension works which are being curried out from Lambton Quay to Customhouse Quay arc now well un towards completion. The track will bo completed and paved in a few days' lime and a start will hi made early next week with the overhead work. The Tramway Department hopes to be enabled to use the loop-lino at Stewart, Dnwson's Corner in about a fortnight and (ho city engineer considers that the other new tracks .should bu available.for use as soon as they are finished, although road-level-ling and wood-blocking operations will not lie completed for about leu weeks. Til!) continuance of this work, Mr. Morton consider?, need not prevent use being made- of tlie new tramway Cracks. H is intended shortly to run the Brooklyn cars to and from the Post Office, instead of to .Manners Street. A proposal is also afoot to run the Miramar cars to the Post Oflice, but other suburban cars will probably bo run for somo time yet to their present termini. It is not'proposed ta make any immediate alteration in the running oi tho Wndoslown and Karorienrs. If these cars are eventually run to the Post Office it will bo by way of Bunny Street and the line through that thoroughfare is not likely to be built before next Christmas. A start will be made at an early date upon the CbarJotte Street line, but plans and specifications of the wovk in Bunny Street have not yet lieen prepared by the City Engineering Department. This latter work is to be paid for out' of the current year's revenue and authority to obtain the necessary material was only lately issued.
