OTAGO CENTRAL RAILWAY.
In the House of Representatives recently, Mr Pyke asked the Minister for Public Works, When the Government will cause the survey of the Otago Central Railway to be completed from Clyde to Lake Wanaka ? He was induced to ask the question at this early period of the session, because the Counties were prevented from making roads and building bridges, and the Government were prevented from selling land in the country indicated until the route the railway would take was known Under present circumstances the settlement of the country and the prosecution of public works was at a standstill.
Mr Macondrew was informed that the survey was about to be resumed, if, in fact, it had not al realty been resumed. He had no doubt whatever that it would be completed long before they were in a position to construct that portion of the line. However, for the reasons mentioned by the hon. member, it was desirable that the survey should be completed.
