RAILWAY MANAGEMENT.
A Northern exchange notes that: Mr S. Swarbrick, for thirty years general manager of the Great Eastern Railway, is at present in New Zealand, being engaged with his two daughters in a tour round the world. On being interviewed on the subject of New Zealand railways by a correspondent of the Auckland Herald , he expressed an opinion that a lack of energy exists, and that our Government do not study their own interests or of the travelling public. He considers that the authorities should work the railway—say for a period of three years—on a clearance of expenses only, and devote residue to the benefit of their customers ; and the greater travelling facilities, with a reductions of the tariff, would quickly enhance their funds.
