WHERE IS OUR RAILWAY LEAGUE?
The Chamber of Commerce affirmed very distinctly at a recent meeting that what Masterton wants, and wants very urgently, is a Railway League. Several weeks have passed since this meeting, and yet no steps have been taken to form a really live and earnest league of district representatives to co-operate with Pongajroa and Waipukurau residents regarding a loop-line through the back country, and generally to push alontr the development of the district by branch lines of railway. Mr C. E. Daniell pointed out very forcibly that it coulci become a very simple matter for the Government to be led into making a wrong decision as regards the proposed iine to Martinborough, and one which would so materially affect the development of Masterton and the Valley generally, that it behoves this end of the Wairarapa to be on the alert. The report published in our issue of yesterday, on the flying survey of railway routes to Martinborough, was pregnant with facts which bore out Mr Daniell's contention, and a Railway League is what Masterton must 1 ave to &ee that its interests are conserved.
