PAHIATUA TO PONGAROA.
Mr David Crewe, of Pahiatua, is a man of ideas. He has an idea that Masterton is trying to rob Pahiatua of its birthright. He also' Entertains
the idea that an electric railway can be constructed between Pahiatua and Pongaroa at a comparatively small J cost. It would be a pity to attempt to disillusionise Mr Crewe on either point. He is so full of ideas, and verbiage, and zeal, that it were better that he should be allowed to work off any superfluity in this connection. Before he goes to Wellington with his deputation, however, it might be as well to remind him that the Mas-terton-Waipukurau railway is one thing,, and the Pahiatua-Pongaroa railway quite another. The relation of Pahiatua to the Masterton-Wai-pukurau line is as that of Greytown to the Wairarapa line. Most people will agree with Mr Crewe that it is cheaper to construct forty miles'of railway than it is to construct eighty.
