SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS. - l i * [a 1!? TELEGRAPH.— OWN CORRESPONDENT.] ,'. Dunedin, Thursday.

At the meeting of the Board this afternoon, notice of motion was given that the engineer be requested to ; report on the best means of improving the steamers' basin by, say, abolishing the Tongue Wharf; widening Rattray-street Wharf, and giving it necessary and up-to-date .conveniences for the discharge and loading of intercolonial steamers; improving permanently the Rattray-street crossing leading on to the comer of the Cross and Rattraystreet Wharves, and the probable cost of these improvements. - /
