Marton Light Railway.
Sir,—The latest Martou fad—tlio extension o£ the Thorough' and a ceri; mil railway station—if carried oaij would put'Tis in a better position
fjia'n the largest- city in New Zea~ i;-."ud ? as far as railway facilities arg concerned, as we will then have pq less than tliree stations within the borough, besides another about a mile and a half from proposed boundary. If the Mayor could formulate a scheme whereby the junction could be brought within less than a half a mile from the centre of Marton, it might find
"jur Wiui me ratepayers of the borough and the Railway Department. If such- a scheme was carried put thope would be no need for'Vo many stations'.' Aii arrangement of tills sort would be a real benefit to Marton, and it would pay the ratepayers to contribute £IO,OOO to the Railway Department towards the cost.—l am, etc. A RATEPAYER (No. 1). .
