Rapid and substantial progress is at last being made with the Te Aro reclamation. Already the filling in has proceeded to a distance of 25 yards from the foreshore, and the material train now runs where a few weeks ago there was semi-navigable water. The little locomotive works fairly, bringing four or five trucks of “stuff” at each trip from the Clyde Quay cliffs. This, of course, seems a light load after the 25 or 30 trucks per trip which used to be taken during Mr O’Malley’s Thorndon reclamation contract, but apparently it is all that can be managed in existing circumstances. Progress, of course, will necessarily be somewhat retarded as deeper water is reached.
