The Premier states that at the Cabinet meet- ing lield yesterday it was resolved that steps should be taken to prepare a scheme of city rail- way extension. The officers of the Works De partment will be instructed to take the matter in hand at once. It will be necessary for the pro- ject to be submitted to the Public Works Com report of Mr. Rennick, the Victorian engineer the details of which were recently published in the Herald. It is proposed that the terminus of the line shall be at Circular Quay. A very small portion only of Hyde Park will be inter. fured with Stations will be provided at Liver occupied by the Girls' High School.

It will be remembered in connection with this matter that the Public Works Committee
has already reported to Parliament in favour of the adoption of the Hyde Park scheme as re- commended by the Railway Commissioners. There is, therefore, the possibility that a "dead lock" may arise. The committee, when con- sidering the scheme recommended by the Government will also have power to take other proposals into consideration. Should the Go vernment scheme be rejected by the committee and another one recommended, Ministers will be placed in a somewhat peculiar position.
