THE CITY DESTRUCTOR AND NEW YARDS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS. Sir,—Cr. R- M. Macdonald is, I think, right'in several" of his deduction*! on the above. EcoffOmy of space in the new yards is an important factor, when not detrimental to general utility, and as some serious mistakes a.s to spacing have already been committed in the yards, it behoves care in disposing of the balance. Surely there is no difficulty in designing a lift or elevater for raising the whole load of rubbish as brought into the yard, and the space under platform can be used -for required purposes other than those 'n the design. As to economic use of the yard site. Whywas the morgue placed in its present position? It is a necessity, not, let us hope, to be often required. There was no doubt of the intention on the part of the Council to acquire all the Manchester street frontage of tha.t block (now done), yet suoh a. break has been mad? by placing the morgue in its present very public position as to seriously ourtail the usefulness of the north-western corner for building purposes.—Yours, etc., ARTHUR APPLEBY. -
