PROPOSED FOR RAILWAYMEN.
Speaking of the railway staff last night,. Mr. E. H. Hileyy 'late', General Manager, New Zealand Railways, said ha was quite confident from what lie had seen of the staff that; given the facilities, they would be able to carry out the work as efficiently as on aiiy railway. The staff should have the'opportunity of education in its -work! He had discussed often with, -Mr.M'Villy, and he knew it was'the latter's intention to pick out a number and give them the opportunity of obtaining a more all-round ■ knowledge "of general railway practice: than v,-.s possible for them". to get , in. the ordinary routine of business.- "I hope, and I believe it is Mr. M'Villy's intention to recommend the selection of younger men, who have proved themselves to be allotted to study railway practice in England and America, where the problems of denser traffic and the higher problems of railways are more obvious than in New Zealand." If he happened to be in England when it was found possible to arrange for men to be sent Home he would* regard it as a pleasure if he could bs of any assistance in effecting the arrangements. with the English railway companies.
