SOUTH ISLAND MAIN TRUNK.
Whatever terminus is chosen for the South Island Main Trunk, it goes without saying that the Dominion needs such a line, so that our islands may be ultimately connected from furthest north to furthest south with as short a sea ferry as possible between the through railways. North Islanders can have no objection to reasonable and justifiable Southern constructions, even though they do not waive in the slightest their own long overdue claims to consideration. The difficulty, says the "Auckland Hernld," is thst the finances of the
country have teen so weakened by
extravagant expenditure upon purely political lines that sound commercial lines must suffer. It would be well it those of both islands who realise the necessity for reform in railway construction would join forces and oust the politicians from their control of the public works of the Dominion.
