A CIRCUIT SYSTEM

ON CITY TRAM ROUTES.

A modification of the proposed tramway route through Wakefield street and

(Victoria street was agreed to by the » City Council last night. Originally, it '. iivas intended to. take tile, tracks, from ' [Victoria street through Hunter street, ■• into Lambton quay, where they would • junction with the other lines, but the change in the plans agreed to by the council practically means the introduc- • tion to Wellington of the circuit sys- .- tern on the main city 'routes.

Part of ...the Jervois quay route will be.

' utilised iff the "working of the;new scheme ' 'for ears leaving Victoria street will turn ■ into Jervois quay, which they will tray- '■ erse as far as Johnston street, and then

' they will pass along the latter thorough- • fare, and turn into Lambton quay, round Kirkcaldie and Stains's corner. The cars - • jwill -travel- southwards' Along Lambton ,' quay, and will then pass into Victoria street again by proceeding through the ,-western half of Hunter street. The Victoria and Wakefield street route will be ; connected up, with.Cqutrenay place june- : tion, and will'be the means'of relieving ■ a great deal of heavy triffic on the Wil- ' lis street lines.
