HUGE GARAGE IN SYDNEY
One of the first parking stations in Australia on a scale resembling the buildings which have been erected in American and Continental cities is just nearing - completion in Sydney, where a five-floor building is being converted into garages. The building is in York Street, near the corner of Market Street, and will have accommodation for 350 cars. The new garage will be open day and night. Cars will drive in from the street and from floor to floor by ramps of an easy grade, with “one-way traffic, ’* and there will be accommodation on each floor for from 50 to 70 cars. It is considered that the space available, 55,000 square feet, will allow the most efficient working when 250 cars are in the building, although at a stretch another 100 can be taken. Petrol and oils will be available on each floor, and on the top floor there will be a well-equipped compressed air plant for washing cars. Oiling and greasing cars will also be undertaken. ——— "i
