LOOPING THE MAIN TRUNK FINE.
The Sandon-Carnarvon tramway, which, according to our Palmerston evening contemporary, has been “ somewhat of a white elephant to the Manawatu County,” seems at last to have turned the corner. Six years ago, says Cr. Kendall, the working showed a debit of Bast year the receipts were and the expenditure £3267, the latter including £661 paid for rails and sleepers and new work. Are not these figures evidence of a guarantee that if the connecting link were made between Bevin and Marton the Government would be well recouped for the outlay. There is a feeling abroad that the Government should be urged to continue the construction of the line at this end from Bevin to Foxton. There is a better chance of getting this important connecting link of the Main Trunk line completed expeditiously in sections rather than waiting for the work to be sanctioned as a whole.
