EAST COAST RAILWAY
ROUTE NOT YET DECIDED “WILL NOT HAVE ENGINEERS BUSTLED” Press Association. GISBORNE, To-day. The Hon. K. S. Wililams, Minister of Public Works, to-day received a deputation from the Railway Development League. He was asked to hasten his decision as to the route the trunk railway will take between Wairoa and Gisborne. He promised to ask his engineers if the investigation of the constructional costs between the coastal route and the inland route had proceeded far enough to justify a decision now. If their answer was in the affirmative he would not hestitate to make a statement, but ho refused to have his engineers bustled into a position which might be attacked later. The Minister gave an assurance that the time spent in investigating the respective routes would be fully justified and that the Government had no intention of delaying or side-tracking Gisborne’s railway connection with other centres.
