LYTTELTON TRAIN SERVICE

• THE DEPUTATION PROM CANTERBURY, By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, June 2. At a public meeting to-day, convened by tlio Mayor to consider the result of the deputation to the lion. W. H. Herrics (Minister of Railways) te tlio curtailed Lyttolton train service, the Mayor said that it was liko drawing blood from a stone to'got' any concession at all, and thoso gained were so small that tliey were scarcely worth mentioning. He was convinced that unless something moro wore done Canterbury would suffer very materially. Instances had been given of steamers refusing to call at Lyttelton except at a. very high increase of freight. They wereall trying to keep down tho cost of living, but unless something wero done it was certain that there would be a very considerable increase in the cost of living in Canterbury. The railway was the only connecting link they had with the sea, and the position in Christchurch was quite different to that of the other chief cities.
