KELBURN CABLE SYSTEM
CITY’S PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE
Negotiations are still proceeding in reference to the proposed purchase of the Kelburn Tramway Company’s cable tramway by the City Council. The council has not yet received a definite reply to its offer to acquire the undertaking. The council has offered the company £45,000 [= ca. $5.3M today].

Black-and-white photo: Kelburn cable car, Wellington. Photographer, Joseph Zachariah, 1867–1965. View from the Kelburn cable car, Wellington, overlooking Wellington harbour, circa 1905 to 1920. The tram may be seen making its way down the hill toward Lambton Quay. Somes Island is visible in the background and there are ships in the harbour. Ref: 1/2-091133-F.

Black-and-white photo: Wellington Cable Car tunnel and tracks. ca. 1920. A postcard showing the upper section of the Wellington Cable Car (captioned here as the “Kelburn Train”). The road passing through in the foreground indicates that there must have been a vehicular crossing at this point which may mean the photograph was taken before the construction of Weir House (student hostel of Victoria University). Wellington City Libraries, Constable Postcard Collection, Reference No. 50001-5-340. https://wellington.recollect.co.nz/nodes/view/4664
