TAUPO-TOTARA LINE.
FURTHER EVIDENCE. By Telegraph—Press Association | Wellington, Nov. 23. ! At the Taupo-Totara Commission, f. G. Dalziell said the company would welcome a Government proclamation taking over the railway line. If this were done the State would get the line at half the cost. If an arrangement could bo come to for the future acquisition of the line it would suit the company beßt, as the line was necessary at present for the transport of its timber. Settlers desired immediate Government acquisition so that they might have Government railway rates. An arrangement to suit the settlers might be come to with tho State. It was impossible to estimate the value of the line fifteen years hence, because the timber values question entered s'i largely into the computation.
