"The system of light railways is altogether wrong," remarked Mr Veitch speaking as a railway expert in the course of the no-confidence debate. The ereat trouble in this country, he explained, was caused by the fact that in the capital account they had the cost of building the railways three or four times over had they built their railways on the broad gauge and their bridges and tunnels on a larger scale. Their railways would to-day be capable of far greater development at a fair less cost. No matter what railway authority one consulted, one would find that no railway could give satisfaction unless it was built on broad, sound lines. Light lines were costly and dangerous. They were now making their railways, on a better standard, with improved grades, and the result would be that the railways would be run at a less cost in a few years. It was a wastn of money to build tin pot lines. The railway guard Cadman, whose case attracted attention by reason of the exercise of the Appeal Board, has been re-instated.
