THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.
By Telegraph—Press Association. * WELLINGTON, September 9. Sir Joseph Ward was waited on by a Nelson deputation, to-day, with a request that the Midland Railway be authorised to Hope Junction, and that speedier progress be made with the line at present authorised. The Premier said that there were seventeen lines on the authorisation list. To grant the deputation's request would mean that the claims of the other sixtee;: lines would be pressed. As a matter of public policy it was desirable to first complete the North Island Trunk Lino. When that work was finished there would be £350 : 000 available for other railways. With the means at it 3 disposal the Government would make provisi6n for the lines already authorised. He could not promise any more.
