CHANGING SKYLINE.—An electric tower crane being erected on the site of the Bank of New Zealand’s building at the south-east corner of Cathedral square. To the right is a counter-balance. Initially, the tower crane rises to 85ft, but it may eventually be extended to 141ft. The control cabin (near the top of the tower in this photograph) will rotate with the jib, which will give the crane a radius of 114ft l0in. The building under construction will reach a height of 141ft, but a service tower, with two penthouse floors, will be 20ft higher.
