The improvements made to Salamanca road during the winter months by the City Engineer were badly needed owing to the growing importance of that thoroughfare as the approach to the University College. Salamanca roacl was originally a rough dray road cut out of the side of the hill on which the college stands, and, like all unmade roads, it was generally a slough of yellow mud in the winter time, with hero and there a streamlet rushing athwart it into the Terrace gully. The road has been made quite respectable now by excavation of a channel on the hillside and the formation of a footpath. But it is so miserably lit at night that two or three new Lamps should be provided at once.
