PLACE OF LANDING.
IN RANGITOTO CHANNEL? DEEP WATER REQUIRED. (By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. From inquiries made here to-day it was ascertained that Mr. Harold Gatty had expressed the view that in the event of Auckland boinp the terminal of the proposed trans-Pacific air service it would be necessary for the machines to land on Rangitoto Channel, as their weight made other places impossible owing to the shallow waters and the uncertainty of the weather conditions.
On the other hand, he is said to favour Wellington as the terminal on account of the depth of the water close in and the large area of sheltered water.
