TICKETS & LUGGAGE.
PROJECTED RAILWAY REFORMS.
The discomfort and inconvenience of the mad rush for tickets at railway stations on days of holiday traffic; and on other similar occasions, should soon be a thing of the past, so far as the four chief icenties of "the Dominion are concerncd. Tho Minister of Railways makes tho following announcement on the subject in _ his annual statement: —"I am of opinion that tho time has arrived when it is desirable for the Railway Department to establish in each of the four principal centres a booking-office' from which passengers may purchase, the day or the day before they intend to travel, a'ticket for any journey thoy contemplate taking by railway." N Tho Minister also proposes to arrange for tho collection and delivery of parcels and passengers' luggage at each of tho four centres, and for the conveyance of luggage between tho ferry steamers and Wellington railway stations, also to inaugurate the system of "cash on delivery" parcels. These arrangements, he remarks, will no doubt ' be a public convenience.
