They comprise (I) T'.a National War Memorial (combining Campanile, in front, with Hall of Memories at base and Carillon of bells on top), (2) the Dominion Museum, and (3) the National Art Gallery. A road for motors from Tasman street leads to a large parking space (fronting the Technical College), on which the southern facades of the Museum and Art Gallery will face. Thesa two buildings will be separated on the ground floor by a portico giving entrance on the one side to the Museum and on the other to the Art Gallery. The portico will open Into the spacious "Place," which will be laid out as a garden. This "Place," on the northern side, is centred by the National War Memorial (Campanile, with Hall of Memories and Carillon), connected on both sides by an Imposing colonnade with the Museum and Art Gallery. From the open "Place" within the buildings exceedingly fine views of the harbour will thus be obtained through the colonnade. (Evening Post, 22 February 1928)

The new concrete road bridge over the Hurt River, approximately hulf-finished, will greatly improve the entrance to Lower Hutt by setting rid of some very awkward bends and providing a wider route than the present wooden bridge. The western end (on the right of the photograph) opens upon Railway avenue, and at the other end new roading will be provided. The concrete piles upon which the piers rest, some of which are shown completed, have nearly all been driven, by a machine which is out of sight at the right. Tho wooden piles aro for supporting tho timber false-work used in constructing the concrete piers and decking. The new bridge is only a few chains downstream from the present ono, the shadow of which is seen in the foreground. (Evening Post, 18 May 1928)
