Last night the Mayor moved in the Council that steps be taken for the reclamation of the Te Aro foreshore, and that a special loan of one hundred thousand pounds bo raised for that purpose. The motion was carried, but the amount of loan left for future consideration. A report by Charles O’Neal was read. It recommends the enclosing of an area between Taranaki and Harbor si reels, which will give a wharf-frontage of 161-5 feet, and a building-frontage of 12,000 feet, the depth of water along the outer portion being 20 feel. The estimated cost is £98,500. The scheme is intended as a continuation of the Chamber of Commerce scheme for extending the existing reclamation of the Queen’s wharf.
