THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
“THE ONE RAILWAY.” “The one railway I consider sound from the viewpoint of economic results is the Paeroa-Pokeno,’’ declared ' Mr A. W. Halt (Hauraki) during his Address-in-Reply speech. He had been arguing that no railway extension should take place without careful investigation of the economics of the proposal, and he gave a confident assurance that the line he favoured must* pay, because it would run through country already having a big out-■ / - put, and would shorten by forty-sev- T en miles the route to the rich Bay of Plenty. He could not personally see any argument against this,, line, nor had he heard one. Public opinion was so strongly in its favour that the Government could do nothing else but go with it. All the Opposition wanted was the fullest investigation of the i proposed lines, and the question of North versus South did not come into the matter.
