John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 5 August 1924:<br> AT WALLACE STREET<br> It had been intended to have transferred the steam shovel from the Wallace street tramway extension excavation to an excavation work in Thorndon quay some days ago, but the navvy is still at it at Wallace street, a minor modification of the plans there giving it a few more days’ work. The scheme as approved had provided for a high level footpath over a portion of the eastern side of the cutting, but to meet the wishes of the residents concerned the council has agreed lo cut down deeper on this length and so provide a low level pathway. Not only is this arrangement satisfactory to the property owners but it also makes for a rather better approach from John street.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240805.2.109" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19240805.2.109</span></a><br><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Tramways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tramways</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Construction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Construction</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Footpaths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Footpaths</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Pavements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pavements</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Sidewalks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sidewalks</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wellington</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>
