BAYSWATER QUAGMIRE
“DIRTY AND DANGEROUS’' The quagmire at the Bayswater Wharf is dangerous to both clothes and pedestrians. Passengers from the ferry boats have to pick their way over a sea of mud, among about 12 motor-buses, and there is a chance of injury. The Bayswater-Belmont Progressive Association wrote to the Auckland Harbour Board yesterday asking that repairs be carried out to the approach to Bayswater Wharf, and suggesting that the fence be re-erected and a footpath formed alongside the western boundary of the new reclamation. The association remarked that the motor-buses had churned the area near the wharf into a quagmire. The chairman, Mr. H. R. Mackenzie, said that tljere was no doubt about the road being in a shocking state. The letter was referred to the Works Committee.
