The major part of the work in the building of the heavy piers which will support the railway line over the Neaio subway is completed, and the Railway Department will no doubt shortly inform the City Council in formal .fashion that that part of the work is so far advanced that the council may commence the removal of the central clay .pier which has served to support the line during the building of the permanent si-.ie piers. There is still a great deal to be done before the gully can be made suitable for the erection o"f the Ngaio Hall, and it is possible that additional spoil will have to-be found in the near vicinity, for the pier under the line will certainly all be eaten up by the gully. Plans for the hall, which is being paid for out of a .special loan affecting the Ngaio district only, are now well advanced.
