FERRY ACROSS COOK STRAIT.
[per press association.]
Wellington, This Day. Mills, Minister of Trade and Customs, lias under consideration and is favorably disposed towards the establishment of a ferry service across Cook Strait from Te Tahi Bay to near Porirua toPicton. The trip could, he estimates, be made in an hour and a-half less than the present passage from Picton to Wellington, and vessels could cross in all weather in comparatively smooth water. Mills points out that with this service and both North and South Island trunk lines completed, it would be possible to travel from Auckland to the Bluff with only about three hours’ sea journey.
