OVERHEAD TRAFFIC BBIDGE.

CITY COUNCIL'S PROTEST. MATTER STILL UNDECIDED. The third matter brought before the I Minister was the question of the over- ! head traffic bridge to replace the level crossing at Quay-street. The city engi- : neer said that this bridge, which he be- i lieved it was proposed to build, would be I fatal to the tremendous traffic that-passed J from the city to Breakwater-road. What would be much more preferable, he argued, would be the removal of the railway station to the east of Breakwater-road. If this road were closed the overhead hridge would be no alternative route for the heavy traffic from the city by way of Custom-street, and it. would be all con- I gested in Quay-street, fl Mr. Myers replied that this matter had ' already engaged the attention of his Departmental officers, and that next Monday he intended to makp an inspection with a view of arriving at a decision which would regulate traffic as satisfactorily as possible. His officers bad informed him that them were serious difficulties in the way of placing the railway station east of Breakwater-road, but Tecognising the importance of the traffic question, ho had asked them to go into the matter again, and as soon as a decision had been arrived at he would let them know before anything was done towards constructing an overhead bridge.
