THE PORT RAILWAY.
To the Editor. Sir, —A deputation, I believe, has waited on the Superintendent to get the morning train altered. You know, dr. it was altered already to half-past six, which did not suit any one except two or three from Ravenahourne. There is a great number of working men who travel to Port and other places down the line, and it is too had that these men should have to rise at five in the morning, get breakfast at such an early hour, Wait one hour at Port before commencing ' work, and all this to suit two or three persons, A great number of men have travelled for months to Port, and when the early train Started they had to take lodgings in Port The people of ! 'uneclin ought to be studied first, because they are the majority and contribute most to the railway revenue. If the trains are altered there ought to be a train leaving Dunedin for Port not later than half past 7 am. Some men holds season tickets, but that early train will not suit them. Now, sir, will you by your pen hje l p us, and use your influence for the good of the travelling workmen of Dunedin, and you will oblige The Workmen, Dunedin, December 7. ''
