Millar) in regard to stopping tho 5.10 p.m, train from Petene at Kaiwarra for the nurpose of picking up workmen returning home to the city. A reply has been forwarded by the Minister stating that as far as possible tho train services at .tho present time have been arranged with a view of meeting the convenience of the : wliole.of the.people who uso tho Wellington-Hutt railway for the purpose of travelling/between their homos and work daily, and tliat.it is not practicable to make any alterations without interfering with the running' of several trains, and causing delay thereto. Any delay to the suburban trains after 4.40 p.m. will completely, disorganise the whole of the services for several hours. In conclusion, the Minister trusts lihat : when the duplication of the line is completed te Kaiwarra many of tho difficulties that now_ obtrude them-selves-will disappear, and it may then'be practicable' to arrange tho services;accordingly. ~.;.'
