become a main thoroughfare to and

47 toe LWT inimously - commend that instead of increasing the width

of this Road to 75 ft, the scheme shown,

in the accompanying tracing (No 2) be adopted and carried out!

You will observe that the scheme submitted provides for the continuation of the widening of Queen's Road to 70 feet westward until the City Hall is reached where a sweep is formed by cutting off a portion of the Cricket Ground to effect a junction with Ice House Road is not mentioned, instead, it is likely referring to another road, possibly "Elgin Road" or more probably "Des Voeux Road", which has a width of 75 feet.

There is now a considerable stream of traffic along this route, which will doubtless be largely increased when the Reclamation at present in progress has been completed and built upon.

Besides, when Tramways are laid down in the City, this will be the route along which they will run.

The widening is effected in great part by cutting a strip off the Parade Ground, which is entirely free from buildings, and, in addition to the advantages already referred to, a small strip of the Cricket Ground is required at its south-east corner.

As compensation for this, an area of more than equivalent extent is added to the Cricket Ground by straightening the boundary along the west side of Murray Road.
