AKAROA RAILWAY. To the Editor of the.Akaroa Mail
Sir,—lt is a great pity the meeting held at Beecher's Hotel on Tuesday morning last was not better attended. There is no doubt the public- had not the slightest intimation of it, which is certainly good reason enough for their non-attendance. Had a large meeting been held, I feel certain the action taken by one of our members in the Trust would bave been severely critised. Had that gentleman wished the opinion of his. constituents during the sitting of the Trust in-connection with the tapping of the Southbvidge line at Lincoln, it could easily have been elicited, but the fact is that the public approved of the scheme as being more immediately useful than Southbridge with the uncertainty of its junction with the Rakaia, or at any point nearer Christchurch from the uncertainly of expense of compensation, besides over eight mills' additional length, if carried to Addinglon to that proposed.
Yours, &c; AKAROA
