Electric Traction.
Voting in favour of an electric service for Wanganui was carried on 28th November, 1906. The intention is to construct about six miles of track, commencing at the gasworks, Taupo Quay, via Victoria Avenue, Glasgow Street and the River Bank to Aramoho, together with two branch lines. The power-house will adjoin the gasworks, and coke will be largely used. The estimated cost of construction and equipment is £40,000.
