LIVE STOCK ON THE RAILWAYS.
SERIOUS COMPLAINTS. Mr. Duncan Eraser writes from Bulls on Question No. 4, relating to railways:— "Tho stockowner does not get a 'square Jeal' with his live stock on the railways. If tho railways were run. in a like manner by a private company, there would be many actions for damages, also prosecutions by tho E.P.C.A. Tie live stock in trucks are shunted ■ about as if they were dead _ -oargo.- The treceiving yards for trucking: and untrucking aro totally inadequate. No water is provided in. the trucking.yards, and.this.no doubt ■ accounts for tlhe loss of stock, particularly cattlo."
