THE RIMUTAKA DEVIATION
Sir,—ls it not time that something was done in this matter to remove the disabilities that the whole of the Wairarana. district ,is bbouring under?. : We are practically side-tracked, and any old carriage or engine is good enough for this important district. Now, I have a suggestion to make and I think a good one, too, although it may not appeal to the engineers, etc. It is this: Could not .the plant and men and engineers from the Otira tunnel be .transferred to the start on a tunnel through the Riniutakas? Tho Otira tunnel is practically finished, and instead of turning the expert men off and scrapping the plant I consider it would be good business to use them on this important work.--I am, etc., HUKANUI.
