reached. At the present time there are two filling stations occupying spaces fronting on the road itself but arrangements are being made to have them moved and the area will be kept as a Crown Reserve with the possibility of incorporating it in any future rearrangement of the existing traffic circle.
The site formation work is fairly simple in that the foot of the steep slope will be cut back and the ac- tual ground floor level of the build- ing will be about five to six feet above the level of the road itself. However, piling will be required for one of the buildings which will be set over an existing water-course which formerly took the rain water down the valley in the hill at that point. It is felt that piling is neces- sary for this building as, although the ground is cut into the solid hill- side, the natural erosion of the un- derground water-course might cause some settlement in course of time.
Tenders have been called for the
construction of these buildings, and it is hoped the piling work will be completed sometime in June and the building of the actual structure will commence immediately afterwards. The site is at the south-east angle of Argyle Street and Waterloo Road
