VICTORIA AVENUE.
TRAM SERVICE DISPUTE. BOARD'S DECISION. The possibility of the train service in Victoria Avenue being discontinued, and the contention of residents that such action would depreciate the values of their property, were the subject of a report to the Auckland Transport Board to-day from committee. The report I followed upon a communication received from the City Council. The committee recommended that if the board continued the service, economies would have to be effected, and therefore the City Council should be asked to forgo the rates charged 011 the lino and to agree to an equitable arrangement in regard to the maintenance of the track. The committee also pointed out that the use of the road by trains was relatively small, and recommended that the board could not, in any circumstances, reconsider the reconstruction of the track unless the City Council undertook simultaneously to brino- the carriageway to a standard at least'equal to that of the tram tracks as reconstructed. The recommendations were adopted.
