NO MONEY FOR RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION.
According to the Minister for Public Works there is little hope for the expenditure of public money on railway construction at present. Replying to a request at Winton for the construction of a Winton-Heddou Bush line, Mr Fraser said that he could not make any promises. Many lines in the Dominion had been authorised, but not a shilling was available for them, and it might be from six to eight years before some of these could be started. The Government was not going to pay six or seven per cent, for money, and public works would have to wait if such a rate had to be paid.
