Doubling the Electric Tram Line in King Edward Road, South Dunedin.
This work, which has long been delayed pending an agreement between the owners and the City Corporation, is now being pushed on, and a gang of men is engaged in excavating for and laying the connecting portion^ of the track, which will then giye a double line right through to St. Clair. The trouble wi'.h the owners has been goi over by the Corporation taking the exact width necessary for street widening purposes under the Public Works Act. The large centre picture chows the Kensington Hotel before its partial demolition, and the other views depict hotel and dwellings on the Main road cut through the centre at the point where the Corporation's authority under the Act stops. To passengers on the southern electric trams, the present appearance of the row of halved dwellings s certainly a novelty.
