LATE LOCALS.
Since the reduced railway fares came into operation, nine weeks, ago several lines on which investigations have been completed have shown marked increases in the number of passengers carried. Investigations are proceeding ,on a- number of other lines, and the j results arei 'expected to be complete ! shortly. On the Wairarapa, line, one which is under an -exceptional disadvantage from " a revenue-producing point of view, 8000 passengers have i been taken daring the nine weeks, as compared with 3000 for the same period last year. Th P revenue, also, has shown a decided increase.' Before the new fares came into operation revenue on this line was steadily dropping, but in the past few weeks the drop has not only been arrested but the position has greatly improved.
