WHARF EXTENSION
FERRY SERVICE. READY FOR ARRIVAL OF RANGATIRA. WELLINGTON, June 5. On nccount of the size of the Union Company’s new ferry steamer Rangatira the Harbour Board has decided to extend the length of the Lyttelton Ferry Wharf by 40 feet. The preliminary work of preparing the piles is already in hand, and the actual work on the wharf will begin very shortly. The waiting shed on the wharf will be extended by 20 feet. The extension on the wharf will have its corners more rounded than they are at present. Rounded corners on wharves are very, popular with captains, as they allow of easier manoeuvring when coming in to the berth, and in case of a collision the chance of damage is much smaller.
The extension .to the .wharf is expected to he finished within four months at the latest, and will he ready for the Rnngatira when she arrives from England.
