TRAMS FOR TIMARU.
TTMARTJ, April 18. Mr F. Black. M.1.C.E., in a report to the Borough Council on the electric tramway proposal, speaks favorably of the prospects of an 'installation within the borough of two lines, one north to south, and one east to west, in a horseshoe, a total of 6:} miles. The estimate of capital cost is £57,062. revenue £11.812. expenditure £10.417. Unless hydro-electricity can be had at £5 10s per unit, it would be cheaper to lisa a Diesel oil engine for the power station.
