THE RAILWAY CUT.
To the Editor. Sir,—The Railway Department has a fanny way of working things. Whilst our service as a whole is losing money, the returns show tVyt the entire loss comes from the South Island, and the North is showing a profit. The heads Pander there is only one cure for a tjkt loss, and that is a “cut.” ey are therefore cutting out the Wei) i ni/tnn-A ucVland expresses in this island,' and in the south they are reducing the Christchurch -Invercargill to three days a week. In other words it means cutting out a service that is paying and maintaining one in thy south that is not paying. But that is tho Government way, and perhaps explains the condition the railways are in at the present time, vlf a private business man had something that was showing a profit he would boost it and apply the cut to unprofitable business only. I am, etc., PUZZLED. 1 7T- 77 T J *
