No doubt the stronger pull of the larger centres, and the shortage qf moiiey during the depresslcil, iiad the eitect of putting this work in the baekgrouud. The present revlvai of business and the expansion of agrieuitural and indus trial activity, call tor the provision of transport facilities in keeping with the growing importance of Hastings* Th© present station is well out of date, and 1 think all thos© having the welfare and progress of Hastings at heart should unito in ufging upon the Government the necessity of carrying oUt, at. an early date, tliis important public work. What is now vvanted is a loug pull, a strong pull. and a pull toeethex-. — Yours, etc.,
