THE PACIFIC CABLE.
Rapid progress is being made with the erection of the office and staff quarters in connection with the Pacific cable station at Doubtless Bay, north of Auckland, and the buildings, four in number, are being erected in wood. It is expected that the two largest will be completed next month. Tho total cost of the four buildings, with fencing, will bo about £5,000. It is possible that arrangements will be made between the Government ami the Pacific Cable Board whereby one or other will undertake that lioth st'dill receive and transmit cable messages at Doubtless Bay, and also work the land lines between Auckland and the cable station, thus doing away with the necessity of employing two separate staffs as at Wakapuaka. No decision on the point will, however, be arrived at until Mr Reynolds, general manager for the Cable Board, arrives in Wellington a few weeks hence.
