HARBOUR TRANSPORT
PRIME MINISTER'S VIEW AUCKLAND BRIDGE PROPOSAL In response to representations in regard to the congestion of vehicular traffic across the Auckland Harbour, the Prime Minister, Mr. Savage, advised the Automobile Association (Auckland) in a message received at a meeting of the council last night, that in his opinion fresh inquiries should be made concerning the proposal to build a harbour br.idge before any action was taken. .Mr. Savage stated that recently the Cabinet had this question under review, but decided to withhold action in the meantime. Reports and complaints from motorists who had been shut off vehicular ferries during November were received by the council. Disappointment was expressed at the inadequacy of the present service to meet the requirements of travellers, especially at holiday or rush periods. it was decided to make further endeavours to secure an improvement in the Birkenhead and Northcote services, in order to relieve the congestion at the Devonport landing.
