BIG RECLAMATION SCHEME.
/a WELLINGTON PROJECT. [BY TELEGRAM. — PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington-, Tuesday. It is considered practically certain that the proposal which has been before committees of the City Council and the Harbour Board to reclaim a wide area, of Evans' Bay will bo taken up shortly and eventually carried to a successful issue. The idea is to win from the sea at thn head of Evans' Bav, an inlet of the liarbour, land suitable for the carrying on of industries requiring considerable ground space, it being considered that the- provision of such land would stimulate industries now in operation and encourage tljft starting of new manufactures.
The scheme involves the reclamation of over 100 acres, with the erection of wharves, facilities for boatbuilding, etc. The Harbour Board has agreed to the scheme, and it is anticipated that the Council will endorse it at next Thursday's meeting.
