The Trunk Railway.
♦ ■ (PEB P2BSS ASSOCIATION ) Auckland, March 30. A deputation from the Northern Railway League asked the Premier what information he had as to what had been done lately with regard to collecting evidence as to the best route. The Premier explained that the surveyors had got into several difficulties in the new trial routes by way of Taranaki, and he had given instructions that if these difficulties were insurmountable it was useless to waste more money. He feared they would have to fall back on the original Central line. What Auckland wanted at present was not railway expenditure but road making and settlement. The latter was in the region of practical politics, while the former would require a big borrowing policy. He had impartially carried out the report of the Committee, but he thought the money would have been better spent in roadmaking.
