STEWART ISLAND OYSTERS
AND TRANSIT BY RAIL. ' (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) Invercargill, March 22. In further pushing iiloiig inquiries in regard to northern complaints about Bluff oysters, a "Southland 'limes" reporter today interviewed the district railway traffic manager, who said "that the trouble was the abnormal spell of hot weather. The train arrangements were identical with those of former years, and, regarding these, 110 complaint had been heard. He maintained that tho insulated wagons asked for by oyster merchants were entirely unsuitable for the conveyance of oysters, because these vans were air-tight. He advocated H wagons—better known as cattle trucks—because, being partially open at the sides, they would allow the air to play over the oysters, or, better still, n special wagon that would repel the sun's heat and still allow a current of air. It is thought that, now that prominence has been given to the matter, steps will bo taken to deal with any future trouble.
