RECLAIMING EVANS' BAY.
Per Press Association. Wellington, Dec. 3. It is considered practically certain that the proposal which has been "before the committee of the City Council and the Harbour Board to reclaim a wide area of Evan's Bay will be taken up shortly, aud evenually carried to a successful issue. The idea is to win from the sea at tho head of Evan's Bay land suitable for the carrying on of industries requiring considerable ground spaco. The scheme involves tho reclamation of over a hundred acres, with the erection of wharves, facilities for boat-building, etc. The Harbour Board has already agreed to do so. It is expected that the Co. will go to considerable expense in adding a wharf and improved appliances, as the site is close to that portion of Evans' Bav whioh is to be reclaimed. Tho Wellington papers hint that tho purchase foreshadows the removal of tho Union Coy. 's headquarters to Wellington.
