WELLINGTON.
This day. Last night the Mayor moved in Council that steps be taken for the reclamation of Te Aro foreshore, and that a special loan of a hundrrd thousand pounds be raised for that purpose. The motion was carried, but the amount of the loan was left for future consideration. A report by Chas. O'Neill was read. It recommends the enclosing of an area of 38| acres between Taranaki and Harbor, streets, which will give a wharf frontage of 1645 feet, and a building frontage of twelve thousand feet; the depth of water along the outer portion being 20 feet. It is estimated to cost £98,500. The scheme is, intended as a continuation of the Chamber Commerce scheme for extending the existing reclamation to the outer T of the Queen's "Wharf. .
