TRAMWAYS FOR NEW PLYMOUTH.

* : —"'.' Somo time ago, in connection with its Greater New Plymouth scheme, New Plyn.outh decided to consider the question of tramway inauguration, the route to rttn from Fitr.roy suburb through various portions, of the town and down to the fircafcwiitaf'at Moturoa. The town district of St. Aubyn, which lic3 out at Moturoii', and 'included the present oilfields area, has declined to come into the borough area, but the New Plymouth Municipal Council has decided to go on with its tramways project. The population of New Plymouth and its numerous suburbs runs into about 10,000, and it is contended' that with this number to work upon, ami the town's, great possibilities in the'immediate future, the inauguration of tramways would l:o a laudablb enterprise which would very soon pay for itself. New, Plyiuduth.'is somewhat similar to Wariganu'i" in its configuration arid the number of outside suburbs, and there is every reason to bclievo that when started tho .scheme would very soon become a payable proposition. The Borousli Council has now decided to ask Mr. F. Black, ; of Wellington, to report upon the question of a tramway running—(l) from Fitzroyto tho New Plymouth Railway Sta-tion-via Devon and Egmont Streets; (2) Morley Street, from AVallace along Devon Street to Egmont Street; (.1) Vogeltowu to Devon .Street; (I) I'ukekura-Park gate ' to Devon Street. .*.":.;!'".'."..''''"
