Capital For Auckland Harbour Bridge

[Special to “Northern Advocate ”] AUCKLAND, This Day. It was stated yesterday that the sum of £2,000,000 is available in Australia for the building of ; the Auckland Harbour Bridge.

Information to this effect was given to the annual meeting of the Auckland Harbour Bridge Company, Ltd., yesterday, by Mr Julius Hogben. The interest rate was reported to be reasonable.

Mr Hogben said he wrote three letters to the Prime Minister, after communicating with M. R. Hornibrook Proprietary, Ltd., of Brisbane, and Mr Savage stated that he had no objection to receiving a suggested deputation of two directors of the company. Why the Delay?

The Government, said Mr Hogben, had for two years been in full possession of all the facts for the need of a harbour bridge. He could not, therefore, understand its policy of studied procrastination, and with this view of the position the member for Waitemata, Mr W. J. Lyon, associated himself in full.

Mr Hogben asked what could possibly be preventing the Government from undertaking such a major public utility. If it were sincere in its declared policy of taking men off the Public Works to encourage Now Zealand industry, the advantages of the bridge must be obvious, for it would ihimediately provide employment for from 000 to 1000 men.
