The City Corporation's New Year gift to the city is the new section of wood-blocking at the south end of Featherston Street, connecting the blocked area in front of tho Gonoral Post Office with Lambton Quay. The wood-blocking of this thoroughfare lends it a new dignity, and improves the appearance of the locality immensely.' With Jervois Quay, Customhouse Quay, Grey, and Featherston Streets woodblocked, the visitor to Wellington _'is now given a good idea of our municipal state as far as streets arc concerned. With the completion of every new section of wood-blocked street, the bill for surfaco maintenance is reduced, and the dust trouble becomes less Ono of tho most fruitful causes of dust is that gravelled area'which serves as. tho approach to the railway goods-sheds. It has been noticed that clouds of 3ust rise thoro during windy weather, and are blown .along those arteries which load to the city. • If that space could bo treated with tarred macadam or even only well oiled now and . again, tho dnst v nuisance would be considerably abated. Tho southern end of Jervois Quay, Lowor Taranaki and -Wakefield Streets mil bo wood-blocked as soon as tho couneilis nblo to spare tho money for tho cost. Wood-blocks are a valuable investment in Wellington. Heating and • ventilation tenders for Parliament Buildings are advertised for in this issuo.
