THE RAILWAY SERVICE.

WORK OF THE NEW BOARD. (special to "the press.") . AUCKLAND, June 9. , "The establishment of the Bailways Board was a splendid policy measure. The Board'-'is working harmoniously as one mtin, and with such smooth working progress can be'the only result,", said Mr H. H. Sterling, a member of the Board, to-day. "Our chief aim is to give service, and good service, to the public." Mr. Sterling said that since the Board had been instituted the North Island railway system had been improved. The Wellington-Napier and Wellington-New Plymouth services had been speeded up, and were now giving every satisfaction. The Board was now directing its attention to the South Island services, and several improvements -were contemplated. Mr Sterling is chiefly interested, in the commercial side of the.Department, and he said the activities of the commercial branch were making themselves felt. The principal object of the commercial,, side was to place the railways before the public and to advertise the service. Several pamphlet 3 had already been issued, and these were being distributed overseas in the same way that tourist literature was distributed. "The new railway tariff can be looked for any day now," concluded Mr Sterling.
