AUCKLAND HARBOUR BRIDGE
IT MUST COME SAYS THE PR IME M I XiSTEP. Electric Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, Last Night. “The Auckland' hat hour bridge is inevitable, ’ declared the Prune Minister (Mr M. J- Savage) this evening when Lids attention was draw i* to an Auckland suggestion that the bridge across the Waitemata harbour was a more deserving project than the construction, of the tunnel through the Rimutaka hill. “The bridge must come* and l ot in ten years’ time either,” added Mr Savage. “It ought to be well up ov then.” It seemed; to him that the bridge would be a more economical transport proposition than the present method of crossing the Waitemata. Jt was only a question of whether other undertakings were not more important in the nieamime. In any case it was very questionable whether it would be possible at present to obtain materials for such a bridge.
