WELLINGTON ELECTRIC TRAMWAYS.
[bv telegraph. pbess association.] ’ Wellington, last night. Plans for the new electric tramway service were to-night submitted to the City Council by Mr Wright, the engineer who recently came from England, and approved. The scheme provides for an express service from Berhampare, beyond Newtown, right through to the Hutt road at the north end of the city, escaping the crowded streets by running along the harbor frontage. Possibly slower services will be provided through the centre of the city and to Upper Cuba street and Willis street, also through Upper Willis and Arch streets to Polhill Gully. The lines will also be laid up Molesworth street and Tinakori road, and right around Oriental Bay to the end of the city. Doubtless this will mean complete revolution in the city transport service. The new order of things is supposed to be in full working order three years hence. Work is to commence forthwith.
