A GREAT CARGO
BIGGEST SINCE WAR MATERIAL FOR TRAMS (From Our Resident Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, To-day. The cargo of 7,000 tons now being unloaded from the steamer Rotorua is the largest brought by one ship to this port since the war. Three thousand or 4,000 tons of iron and steel are included. Slackness in the steel trade of England has caused a 12 months’ delay in the arrival of the material for building the new tramcars for the city, with the result that every car is taxed to the utmost at peak periods of the day. New cars are being built immediately.
