REPAIRS HELD UP
DAMAGE ON HUTT RAILWAY EMERGENCY SERVICE KEPT UP Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. “It all depends on the weather,” said a railway official to-day when questioned about the damaged Hutt line. “This unfortunately is the season for southerlies, but if the violent southerlies hold off, we should be able to repair the track sufficiently to ensure a continuance of the service on the inner set of rails. If we get a series of heavy southerlies in the immediate future then goodness only knows what will happen.” There was a fairly rough sea, combined with a high tide this morning, but the waves were not so fierce as those experienced during last week’s storm, yet conditions were bad enough to undo some of the repair work already carried out, and to indicate what might happen in the case of another storm such as last week’s. In the circumstances the Hepartment is maintaining a creditable service.
