OTIRA TUNNEL
MINISTER'CAN GET NO MORE MEN. The Minister of Public Works was asked yesterday whether he had any reply to make to the condemnation passed upon him in Christchurch regarding the Otira tunnel works.
Sir William Eraser said he had nothing new to add to what he had already told the people of Christchurch on other occasions. "I will put more men on when I can get them," lie said, "but at present I have not got them. Until more men come back from the front I can see no possibility of increasing the number of men there. I shall bo only too glad when there are more men available for the work.=. But until the thrashing is over in Canterbury I cannot expect to got any more men for Otira."
