THE OAMARU MOERAKI LINE. We (N.O. ‘ Times ’) are enabled to state that the exact position of affairs with regard to the railway from Oamaru to Moeraki Junction is as follows:—The Public Works Department in Wellington has been officially advised that the line will be ready for opening on Monday next. Of course the Wellington Department will have to advise the Provincial Government that the line will be ready to be taken over on that date. This has probably been done ere this, and if so, it only remains for Mr Conyers to fix the date of opening. [We understand that Mr Conyers has fixed on November 4 for the formal opening of the line.— Ed. E.S.] THE TDAPEKA LINE. By the time this appears in print, it is more than proboble that the last length of the Round Hill tunnel brickwork will have been finished. The platelaying is progressing very slowly, only seventy chairs having been laid daring the past fortnight. At the present rate of progress, the promise of the Government to open the line to Havelock at Christmas will be t n impossibility, and the authorities will again have broken faith with the people..—‘Tuapeka Times.’
