Agreed to. RATTRAY STREET JETTY AN]} RAILWAY STATION. Mr REEVES moved —"That a respectful address be presented to His Honour the Super intendent, requesting that he will have placed on the Supplementary Estimates the sum of LIOOO, to assist the Corporation of the City of Dunedin to construct permanent approaches to the Rattray street Jetty and Railway Station." The request was for the purpose of forming what would necessarily have to be done as a permanent approach to the Railway Station and the Rattray street .Tetty. These street; were now costing the Corporation L 550 per annum. They bore the wear and tear of all the import goods i>rought into the Piovince. The Government Reserves had a frontage to the street line of 3105 feet, and the city could not impose any rate on these Reserves. The main tenance of this street was "robbing" other portions of the city. If the property occupied by the railway sheds were let, the Corporation would receive about L7OO per annum ad ditional. Mr R KID recognised that as a special case. Tliere w:us no doubt that the amount of traffic on Rat*r--y street was much more than the Corpoi «■< should sustain.
