HARBOUR BRIDGE “INEVITABLE”
Structure To Span Waitemata Harbour
MR SAVAGE COMMENTS ON SUGGESTION
(United Press Association)
WELLINGTON, June 20.
“The Auckland harbour bridge is inevitable,” declared the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon M. J. Savage) this evening when his attention was drawn to an Auckland suggestion that a 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 not in 10 years’ time, either,” added Mr Savage. “It ought to be well up by then.” It seemed to him that the bridge would be a more economical transport proposition than the present method of crossing the Waitemata. It was only a question whether other undertakings were not more important in the meantime. In any case it was very questionable whether it would be possible at present to obtain materials for such a bridge.
