OTAGO CENTRAL.
The proposal to construct the Otago Centrarout of land revenue is being made a precedent by members from all parts of fehe colony for requests that their pet lines may be formed on a similar system . Mr
Ward brought forward such a plea yesterday on behalf of the Seaward Bush Railway, Southland. The Premier amidst a general nppio of laughter said that, profiting by his experience when answering Mr Smith on Tuesday, he proposed to state that not having personaly. inspected the country through which the line would pass, he could not express an opinion. (An hon. momber, sotto roce, "Another Ministerial tour.") If, however, the principle ot the Ocago Central Bill found acceptance with the Houso, as ho had no doubt it would, there could be no doubt that it would be the duty of the Government to see if other lines were in a position suitable for being carried out on the same system.
