The Timetable
A statement has been made that the authorities do not intend to interfere at present with the through trains because the traffic by them has been much larger than was expected. While vre congratulate the department on this happy state of affairs, yet we must express our surprise and sorrow they should be so easily contented. For the sake of a few through passengers from "Wellington to New Plymouth, the whole of the traffic at the side stations is to be sacrificed. In the face of the promises made by the Hon Mr Richardson when he met the deputation here, this change of j front at first glance appears remark- i able, but when we remember the i Honorable gentleman was then temporarily removed from the paralysing influence of the I 'otent Mr Maxwell the thing is explained. No doubt | when Mr Maxwell was informed of the promised concessions he put his veto on them at once, and the Minister had to give way. It is not our intention, however, to be so easily satisfied, and if the desired alterations are not made quickly we will try the effect of auotber public meeting and influential deputation.
