Millar (Minister of Railways) gave to a Sydney interviewer upon his arrival in Australia was to quote last year's returns from the New Zealand railways.

Mr Millar pointed out that very fair criterion of the spending power of a people was usually furnished by the railway returns. The year just ended, he said, would pfove to have been, in point of railway Revenue, one of the best New Zealand has experienced. The receipts from both passengers and goods have heeti excellent.
