he done. Waring Street needs widening : if the Cathedral Mall 

 were opened, a new street connecting the docks with the Shankill 

 Road could easily be worked in. Great Victoria Street needs 

 continuing at its full width down King Street and by Gresham 

 Street to Royal Avenue. Coming down the Antrim Road, a new 

 wide street is wanted from Carlisle Circus Ada Towusend Street 

 and Durham Street to the Lisburn Road at Sandy Row. 

 Similarly, a l)ig route is wanted from Bloomfield across to 

 Ormeau. 



(2) Railways. — As regards Railway facilities, it may be 

 that Ave have for over lost our chances : — but Avould it not be 

 desirable at least to have an expert re-examination into the 

 remaining possibilities 1 A Central Station would be a vast 

 convenience. It would pi'esumably have to be located someAvhere 

 about the area betAveen the Gas Works and the Albert Bridge, — 

 and the nest of slums at present occupying most of that section 

 would be a very good riddance, in any case, even if the space 

 were to be used, not for a big Station, but only for an extension of 

 our markets. 



(3) Traina. — The tramway policy of a city is bound up in 

 the most intimate way with its Town Plan. Our present system 

 requires consideration in the light of future developments. For 

 one thing, uniform fares should be established. We should 

 deliberately continue what we have already begun, driving 

 our lines far out into the country, on wide roads, — but we should 

 see to it that Avorking men and working women shall have cheap 

 and rapid access to their Avork even from the furthest terminus 

 of our public conveyance,^ — else the greatest of all gains from 

 public conveyance is throAvn aAvay. How is it that Ave have not 

 yet taken better advantage of the fact that hardly any city in the 

 Avorld has such easy access to such beautiful surroundings 1 

 Again, is it not almost time to begin a systematic linking up of 

 the subui'ljan tram-heads, so that we may ultimately have a full 

 circular route 'I It would be easy to begin, by a link from Malone 

 terminus across Shaw's Bridge to Ormeau terminus, and the
