If is greatly to be hoped that the threatened poor-rate may be averted through a liberal response on the part of the Wellington citizens to the appeal made by Councillor Coombe, There ought to be no serious difficulty in raising the sum required, especially when it is known that the imposition of a compulsory rate must be the necessary consequence of failure. We are glad that the City Council last night consented to give the experiment a fair trial, and wo trust that the result will be in all respects satisfactory.
The City Council acted very prudently in appending to their resolution in favour of the Te Are railway the proviso suggested by Councillor Fitz Gerald, that the uninterrupted approach to the Queen’s Wharf should not be obstructed by the proposed railway extension. The wisdom of this rider must commend itself to every sensible person.
