A party of surveyors who have been defining the railway nmte between Kaikohe and Horeke left yesterday for the purpose of surveying the line between the Falls and Dargaville. A grant of £100 has been made by the Government with the object of having the survey completed as soon as possible, and if conditions are favourable there is : every probability of those northern towns being the first to benefit under the Government electrical proposals.
