trafic. The remedy of course would be the extension of the Prayn in front of the naval and military property, an improvement that has been so long advocated in vain that hepa of its over being room plished has almost hoon abandoned. The subject is, however, once again under con aderation. The Imperial authorities, na is well known, contemplate making a very ex- tonsive reclamation in front of North Bar racks and the Naval Yard, and in the orent of their doing so they might consent to the extension of Connaught Rond to the junction of Arsonal Street and the Praya at Blue
Buikings. With a road like blat and a tramway along it the eastern would no longer be separated from the central distelat as it has hitherto been and great progress might be expected in that direction. The tramway and the new road are, however, things of the future, but as regards the immediata present the activity in building, the rapid utilisation of the Reclamation, and the extension of the residential districts on the upper levels beicken great public confidence in the com tinued prosperity of the colony.
