Tho'situation of the Weslport-Stockton Company's Colliery is quite different from the current idea of a coal mining township. Most of tho employees live in a township on a plateau somo hundreds of feet ftbovo sea level, within easy walking distance of typical Now Zealand bush scenery. They aro conveyed to and from their work by electric locomotive. There arc no deep shafts to 'descend, but- the coal is reached through tunnels in tlio hillsido on an easy walking grade. The company has built « number of houses for tho men, and is building more as opportunity offers, from plans prepared by a town-planning export.
