MASTERTON TO WAIPUKURAU
OR PAHIA7UA TO PONCAROA?
In the course of the interview between the Pabiatua deputation and the Minister of Public Works, concerning the generation of electricity from the Makuri river, Mr Ross urged that the Minister should consider the need of railway facilities in Akitio County. The Minister: Have you cut up those sheep .stations yet ? Mr Ross replied that when the Minister visited the district he justly remarked that it was .unfair to ask for the railway so long as the land wac held in large areas. Having seen the country through which the Mas-terton-Waipukurau route lay, he was satisfied that the proper route should bo from Pahiatua tc Pongaroa, as this line would traverse a closely settled district all the way.
