THE GORGE CONTRACT.
(Per Uunited Press Association.) Wellington, August 81. The amount of the Gorge contract as first named was wrong. It is really considerably below XTfI.OOO, but the Public Works Department will not allow the exact sum to be known at present, as contract will probably be modified in essential particulars. There were 14 tenderers. The contract includes four miles through the Gorge, but not all the bridges. It iH expected that the line will lie opened from Napier to Woodville in February. The contract which was first let on tne Wellington-W’oodville line, of six miles, embraces some of the roughest work on the whole line.
