Conveyance of Goods
_v It is not, we believe, generally known that a very convenient system of goods- '■ conveyance from one part of this colony j to any other part, has been brought into force in connection with the New Zealand railways. Goods and parcels (but not live stock) can be booked at a station on one section of the railways to any leading station on another section. That is to say, goods or parcels intended, say, for Christchurch, or Timaru, or Oamarn, or Dunedin, can be delivered to the railway authorities at Fielding, or any other station on the Manawatu-Patea line, and booked direct to their destination. The .railway department takes charge of the .goods ; forwards them to the nearest port And" ships them by first steamer whence they sre conveyed to port of destination by rail to the station whither they are addressed, and there arc delivered to the consignee. Tha consignor has no trouble beyond delivering his goods at the nearest railway station and paying the railway charges.
