The Premier said there were seventeen lines on the authorisation list, to grant the deputation's request would mean that the claims of the other sixteen lines would be pressed. As a matter oi public policy it was desirable to irst complete the North Island Trunk line. When that work was finished there would be £350,1100 available for other railways. Within the means at its disposal" the Government would make provision for lines already authorised. He could not promise any more.
