NELSON PROVINCIAL COUNCIL. (from our special correspondent.) Nelson, May 8. The Government proposed last night a motion declaring the desirability of a lease of the Brunnerton and Greymouth Railway being granted to a company for the construction of the Foxhill and Brun-. nerton lines. The motion was so written that it read that the Superintendent should be empowered to grant a lease. The motion was ridiculed, and a .-lively discussion ensued on the general question. The West Coast members are all antagonistic to the present proposals, and the discussion was adjourned for a week. Meantime the rest of the Coast members are invited to meet the Land Committtee.
