BY TELEGRAPH. (Own Correspondent.) "Wellington.

He said he was sure that if south Auckland people would not sink all differences and be united for a start somewhere at the northern end. they would be left in the lurch. He had asked for a report of the trial survey en the proposed deviation, and was informed that it was not yet prepared; that meant nothing being done this year, while other lines were being pushed on.

Hail-Jones replied that every care and expedition was being exercised over the matter, and Cabinet would see that South Auckland would not be forgotten. '
