What con cerns the latter most is the thorough- fare facilities between the castern and western coctious of the City of Victoria. It is obviously desirable that there should hu another thoroughfare in addition to Queen's Road, as the steadily increasing tralio between east and west tends to con gestion in the comparatively narrow gullet from the Murray, Barracks to Arsenal Street. It was felt by the naval authorities thut, however desiralle such an improva mont might be, they could not have their naval yard intersected by a broad readway, hat in order to meet the wishes of the Go- vernment and to obviate the congestion of traffe, they have offered to widen Queen's Road from Manay Barracke as far as Arsenal Street.
