PEAK TRAMWAY EXTENSION

There is general, agreement amongst regular patrons of the Ponk tramway service with the view expressed by the Chairman of the operating company, at its recent annual meeting, that if permission can be secured and the necessary land acquired, the line should be extended down to Queen's Road. So much is evident from the opinions ex- pressed in our evening con- temporary by various residents who have been approached on the subject. The desirability of the extension is beyond question, but, an the Chairman of the Company has pointed out, the land required is owned by the military authorities, and negotia- tions to acquire it have so far been unsuccessful. From the practical standpoint, even assum- ing willingess on the part of the War Department to surrender the land needed for the exten sion, there is the question of cost to be faced. So far, there has been no indication of how much money would be required to cover the purchase of the land and the carrying out of the scheme, but obviously it would be considerable. The question naturally arises whether there would be any prospect of the Company being able to recoup itself for the heavy expenditure involved. Already, the effects of motor competition are being felt, and when the new motor road to Magazine Gap is opened up, as it will be within a few months, this factor will be even further emphasised.' Granting the desirability of bringing the terminus nearer to the centre of the town, the question, so far as the Company is concerned, re solves itself into the most econo- mical method of making the extension. Actually; the pro- blem is not one of great magni- tude; it involves the devising of an expeditious means of covering the three hundred yards of road between the existing terminus and the down-town level. The simplest and least costly method would appear to be the provision of a feeder service by the Com- pany. This could be done by utilising motor buses for the purpose. The great advantage of this plan would be that the terminus could. in effect, be brought even nearer still to the centre of the city than the foot of Garden Road. Buses, operating, say, from Chater Road, could provide a service. fitting in with the tramway time- table. To residents and tourists alike, such a feeder service would be a marked improvement on existing conditions and would be even more convenient than 'an extension of the tramway down to Queen's Road. It could possibly be maintained on the basis of a five-cent bus fare from the town to the tramway.
