HUTT TRAINS
Sir,—Previous to the war I purchased a residence at the Lower llutt, when there was a good Sunday train service, but since'the war everything has been curtailed; 1 lumpen to bo ti commercial traveller, and hud it very hard to hire a taxi to get home on a Saturday liiftht. it the Minister of Railways wishes to economise he could cut out X'2ooo to a:iik)o yearly by doing away with the railway time-table hook. This is supposed to be official information, but contains notes on liogs, horses, corpses, and otlier unnecessary data; also advertisements of hotels undboardinghouses. it is a bulky volume and people who wiuit a limetable will tear away the rubbish and retain only the few pages with the railway timetable in it. This publication must cost the Government thousands per year, as special travellers are kept who have a good time of it looking for hotel advertisements, with a free puss to to all over the railways. The salary cannot be less than .£51)0 and expenses must brine the total cost io thousands per year, not to mention the vast amount of paper wasteu. Will the Minister cut out the bulky time-table and give us Sunday trains to the Lower Hutt?—l am, etc., COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.
