OFF-STREET PARKING
Loan Approved For Buildings The City Council’s application for a loan of £348,000 for an off-street parking building on the corner of Manchester and Gloucester streets has been sanctioned by the Local Authorities Loans Board. Approval has Bpen given subject to> the final plans being approved by the Ministry of Works and the project conforming to the master transportation plan of • the Christchurch Regional Planning Authority. Cr. H. P. Smith, chairman of the council’s finance committee, welcomed the news yesterday, and said he hoped construction could be put in hand as quickly as possible. He thought quotations should be obtained from builders prepared to quote on a finished job, “a packaged deal,” he said. That was a method used extensively overseas. The news would be welcomed by the motoring public and motoring interests, said Cr. H. G. Hay. chairman of the council’s recentlyformed off-street parking committee. The committee would meet shortly, and he hoped it would then be able to make a recommendation on an architect or engineer to prepare plans so that the city’s first multi-storey parking building could be started as soon as possible.
