Moturoa, and objection was raised thereto as depriving the public of what w«s now a great asset. It was suggested' that the Chamber should join with the Borough Council, th« Harbor Board, and' the seaside committees in a protest ag;A»nst the proposal. ' I One member said it would be/ far better for tht Department to a|< lo pt the suggestion made by Mr. Bab? )a S e . the London Tpwn Planning expeift' "i bis report, to 'the New, Plymouth! Borough Council, that the railway shoi|' (l follow the valley of the Maiigotukif l stream and tunnel through to tlie beaf h > n the neighborlipod of Mission Hill. [The cost of resuming the necessary lal l(I would be comparatively small, the roil'e would be an easy one, and it would i 9erv e for all time, whilst the seashore v °uld bo available and a great asset to l ( be public retained. ; Jt wai decided to taking action in the matter until the' dat e of Mr. McVilly's visit is known, i l ™' tben to confer with the various bodi* 2B intereat«d.
