Herries, said that the alteration would cost £11,000, and if. tho new Wellington central station was "one on with shortly, the money might hi found to be wasted. He sympathised with the request, but doubted if die expenditure would be justified. He honed that the now Wellington station woulc be gone on with in the not-far-dis-tant future.
