TRAM EXTENSION TO GREATFORD.
PERMISSION REFUSED BY GOVERNMENT.
At the meeting of the Manawatu County Council yesterday, a letter was received from the Public Works Department, stating that the Minister could not see his way to allow the extension of the Sanson-Foxton tramline to connect with the railway line at Great!ord or at any other point.
Cr. McKenzie stated that he intended to move that the Government be asked to take over the tramline, and make the connection themselves. He did not think it was right that the ratepayers should be debarred from getting a connection with the railway line, and he believed that the only resource left now was to ask the Government to take over the tram. A motion to this effect was afterwards carried.
