COST OF RAILWAYS.
INCREASE OF RATES HINTED. (By Wire.—Own wirrespondent.) Wellington, Last Night. Repaying to a question in the House of Representatives to-day the Premier said it was sound policy to carry manures on the railway at the lowest possible rates.
He did not know that the Department was making any profit on the carriage of fertilizers at the present time. He would be glad to reduce the rates if that was possible, but lie was bound to state that the cost of running the railways was increasing all the time, and that it might prove necessary presently to make another increase in rates. He did not want to do that, but the possibility was there.
