TE ARO RAILWAY STATION.
FARMERS AND THE GOODS TRAFFIC. The question of tho extension of tho goods traffic to tho To Aro railway station was referred to by Mr. J. G, Wilson, chairman of tho Wellington Provincial Executive of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, during tho eoiirw '.if his presidential address. The much larger portion of our produce, which is consumed in Wellington, said Mr. Wilson, goes,to Tc Aro: tho railway is extended there, but 110 goods are taken and, savin" a few milk-cans, nothing hut. passengers go over this line. The lower part of tho West Coast and the AYairnrapa send some produce to Wellington, and it is mostly disposed of at the Te Aro end, yet with the railway running there it has to be carried all tho way from (lie north end, probably n mile or sr>, over flic streets, simply because no means ore provided to send it to Tc Aro. Mr. Wilson said ho thought that, in the interests of those who soli their produce in Wellington, file union should lend its weight to have this boon granted.
