PUBLIC WORKS MINISTER.
EARLY INSPECTION TOUR. Believing that he can learn more by visits of inspection than through ponderous files of correspondence, valuable as the latter are, the new Minister of Public Woi'ks, Hon. E. A. Ransom, proposes to visit all the major works under the control of his department. The Minister expects to undertake an extensive tour toward the end of January, but he has not yet mapped out a definite itinerary. One of the works he is particularly anxious to inspect is the Arapuni hydro-electric development scheme. Mr. Ransom was asked in the House this week whether he would investigate the reports that the scheme had been jeopardised by tho alleged instability of the rock foundations at the dam and power house sites. He proposes to make a careful investigation into the allegations and the criticism of rebuttal offered shortly afterwards. If it appears that further investigation is warranted he will approach the Cabinet with a recommendation to that effect.
