MOUNT VICTORIA TUNNEL
(To the Editor.) .. Sir.— As a residents Hataitai for the past 20 years may I voice, through!- your paper, the feeling of' intense disappointment and annoyance at the continued, delay in opening the new tunnel,' for at least pedestrian traffic. Owing to the casting xote of a. former Mayor in turning down the proposal to make the first tunnel double the present size, I, and thousands ot other dwellers on the eastern Bids of the hill, have been forced to 'either patronisevthe trams, or walk over, the hill daily. After haggling and wrangling over the site of the new tunnel, the contract was let at long last. The job has been completed now for some time, but unfortunately one's hopes of 20 yearn have not yet' been realised, arid it looks as though another 20 years may,'elapse.before we shall be permitted to make use of the new route to town, which is costing the ratepayers so much. Can you1 extract from/ the municipal authorities any informition concerning this matter.—l, am, etc., WAITING PATIENTLY.
