BLUFF REPORT.

The propogftd depot site at the Bluff has been inspected by Mr Hay, who was met by Mr Hinchey and the Work8 Committee of tne Bluff Harbour Board by nppointment last Friday. The Harbour Board has a piece of reclaimed land availablo ground and h\% auJjj^lus on Pago g.)

(Continued from Page 4.) store accommodation amounting to 60 feft x 120 feet floor space. The store and dumping ground are served by a siding and loop coming off a baefc-shunt on, ihe mfein line. Tho existing track does not pe^mit of efficient handliag of poles and cross arms and the unrestncted. use by the Po>ver Board of the Bluff Hai - hour Board's siding would most cerUiinly hamper the operations of the Harbour Board when loading or unloading their store. There is, however, an area of raiiway land between the Harbour Board Store and the main line which could be served by a loop off the ma' i line and which would givt stdrage room for poles and provide more sheltered place for workmen. By using this area for the main pole depot the Harbour Board's land as a surptus dump and the Harbour Boarcl's Store for such goods as require protection from the weather, a good depot could be esiablished at the Blu.'k The terms under which the Harbour Board would be prepared to Iet the Power Board have the use of land and store are, we understand, under ciscussion. Mr Hay, on Saturday, interviewed the District Railway Engineer, re lease of land and siding and Mr Lowe txpressed himself as willing to c'onsuler au aplication if made.
