IMPROVED RAIL SERVICE
I SUGGESTION TO COUNCIL ■ That an improvement in the rail- ! iway passenger service between , Otaki and Wellington was necessary was the opinion expressed in a j .'etter received at this week's meet-, jing of the Otaki Borough Council ifrom the Otaki branch of Federated (Farmers. A deputation to the Min-: 'ister was suggested with a view to; , the establishment of a suitable rail- ; ; car service. | | The council felt that the diffi-i culty would be to get a sufficient ^ .number of people to travel. It was! ; agreed that the services could bc ; speeded' up, but that very littlc could be done till the line had been ! duplicated. It was pointed out this l was - under ,-way, and also that electrification was 'in progress. It; iwas thought that an effort might bc | made to have the Auckland express j stop each morning. It was thoug^ht advisable to liold' the matter over in the meantimc and ask Federated Farmcrs to raise it again early next ycar.
