CORRESPONDENCE.
(To the Editor)
Sir. —Will you please permit me to congratulate our “city fathers" in at last—even, sir, if it is a long last informing the Manager of Railways that the best revenue-producing branch line in the North Island exists between Palmerston and Foxton, and that its travelling patrons are the most scandalously treated in the nonadherence to the time-table of the “get- there-at-any ■ time express. ’ ’ Of course, the Council didn’t inform the manager in my phraseology, but the Council’s mild protest may be the means of departmental intormation coming under the notice of our railways manager, and cause an improvement in the present unsatisfactory state of-affairs. All last week the train arrived at least half an hour late. There are too many stopping places for shunting operations on the line, with the result that the convenience of the travelling public arid mails are a secondary consideration. I hope the Council will continue to hit up the Manager until the present scandalous state of things is improved. —Yours, etc.,
Ratepayer
