WHAT IS THE MOTIVE?

From the discussion which took place at the meeting of the Masterton Chamber of Commerce yesterday, ijb would apear that some of our leading townsmen view with apprehension the designs of the North Island Railway League. It is thought that the Auckland people are somewhat overanxious to urge their own particular claims, and are doing this at the expense of other parts of the Dominion. Whether this suspicion is well-founded, time alone can tell. Meanwhile, it is just as well for the Chambers of Commerce in Masterton and other progressive townships to be on the alert, and to demonstrate that Auckland is not the only pebble upon the railway beach. In the distribution of public monies national interests should always be placed before local considerations. Having this in view, any well-governed, patriotic body of public men would take lines such as those between Masterton and Waipukurau, or between Gisborne and the North, which open up large areas of fertile land, and insist upon their being pushed through with the utmost expedition.
