NEW OUTLET FROM CITY
TRAFFIC TUNNEL PROPOSED AT AUCKLAND (P.A.) Auckland, Nov. 17. Representatives of Auckland local bodies in conference this morning viewed with favour a proposal that a traffic tunnel as a new outlet from the city should be constructed under Albert Park, where there is at present an extensive tunnel shelter scheme. The Mayor, Mr. J. A. C. Allum, submitted a comprehensive report containing four recommendations: (1) That the City Council seek Government authority to construct a tunnel as proposed by the city engineer at an estimated cost of £276,000; (2) that the council undertake to back-fill the side tunnels at an estimated cost of £30,000, without subsidy from the Government or contribution from local authorities; (3) that the Government be requested to contribute a sum of £75,000 toward the cost of the works outlined; (4) that the Government and contributory local bodies be requested to allow the council to take over, without payment, all existing plant and equipment and whatever portion of the existing tunnel work which might be of value in constructing the traffic tunnel. Delegates decided to recommend the scheme to their local bodies as a reasonable one.
