FAIRLIE CREEK RAILWAY.
SECOND EDITION
On Monday last we published a telegram from Mr Turnbull M.H.R., re unemployed. We now publish the question asked and answer given as they appear iu “ Hansard.”
Mr Turnbull asked the Minister for Public Works, if notifications will be published in the Timaru newspapers that the Eaudio Creek line, will at once be opened for the unemployed iu that district; and, if so —other circumstances being equal—whether preference will be given to married men with families ? Mr Oliver replied that forty or fifty of the unemployed iu the Eairlie Creek district would be employed ou this line, ou the same terms of payment which the government had been giving in other places. He might further inform the hon. gentleman that it was the intention to throw open a reserve there, to have it cut into allotments, and these allotments taken up by those workmen ou the system of deferred payments. There was no objection whatever, to publishing a notification to this effect iu the Timaru newspapers.
