PUBLIC WORKS.
OREAT SCARCITY OF MEN.
SOME SCHEMES MAY STOP. {By Wive.—Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, Last Night. The Prime Minister said to-day, when speaking with reference to public works, that the scarcity of men and materials was as 'great, or nearly as great, as during the war period. The Public Works Department had not half the men it required. He was not certain that the Government would not have to close down on the construction of several railway lines. To close down some works while others were pushed to completion might be more economical than spreading the energies of the departmesii over a great many lines. Nothing, however, had yet been decided upon in connection with this matter.
