THE NAPIER EXPRESS.
The Napier Chamber of Commerce pretends concern at the proposal that the 'Napier express train is'hall be diverted from the Manawatu to the Wairarapa Jine. Tire reason given for objection is that it'ho time occupied in doing the journey from Napier to Wellington would Ibo grea tor iby the Wai - rarapa than Iby the Manawatu route. This-, Ihoweve-r, is only 'a. question o- arrangement'. If the stoppages-, were less frequent on the Wuirarapa line, and there was a clear 'run from the Upper Hutt to Wellington, there is no reason' w.hy the time occupied in the journey should bo greater than at present. The country cannot afford to pun a train -spatially-for the benefit of Hawke's .Bay travellers along the Markaw.atu~'lini9, when a train just as convenient) .passes through the Wairarapa.
