TRAIN AND MOTOR.
NEW POLICY PREDICTED. MR COATES'S STATEMENT. (SPECIAL TO "Tint PHBSS.") j LEVIN, June 10. What may bo regarded as a statement foreshadowing a now policy in respect to the railways and the motor services was made by the Prime Minister, the Hon. J. G. Coates, to-day. Mr Coates said the Government was out to giw encouragement to country sottlers, aud an assurance to those settlers that their conditions would be made better than they were at■ preissnt He wanted tlio Railway Board to take the view that the country settler was just as essential a unit to the railways as the city dweller was. Ihere was no reason why all tho motor services of the country districts should not ibe linked up with the railways. Thosa sen-ices could be utilised in providing litting adjuncts to the railways. By this means the railways would be able to undertake a service of through dolivary of goods right from the point of embarkation to the homo of the settler.
