THE JERMYN STREET SCHEME.
Sir, — 1 his is ,i warning to tho citizens ci Auckland iv>; to support the Jermyn Street, extrusion scbeni'-. Hobs on Street is the natural outlet for the city traffic. It is a broad thoroughfare, and it is already "there," and docs net require a vast sum of money to be expended on it as is t.he case with the Jermyn Street scheme Doubtless the gradient is very slightly steeper than the proposed Jermyn Street one, but only for short distances. The main objection to the proposed scheme is that although somo of the Lower Queen Street traffic may go via Jermyn Street to Symonds Street, yet all the congestion of traffic will occur again at the junction of Walleslcy Street East and Symonds Street, i.e., there will be a short loop made, and then Symonds Street will be as crowded as ever. Now the present traffic route via Hob;on Street-, does, a.nd will as time goes on. relieve this wharf-front congestion of trains and heavy cartsEngineer.
