RAILWAY WORKS.
ALL HANDS TO BE DISCHARGED 1
SVk are informed that all hands on the Gisborne-Karaka railway works yesterday received word that they would be discharged on Friday next. We wore unable last night to receive any official intimation of what course it is intended to pursue, but the men affirm that they have duly received notice that all hands go off on Friday next, the last day of January. If that is the way the public works are to be carried out there should be a still greater surplus than a quarter of a million for the Government to boast of. Yesterday we had a long report of Sir Joseph Ward’s speech, stating what good things were in store for the West Coast, Is it to be always the same old West Coast, and the crumbs only for this coast ?
