RIMUTAKA DEVIATION.

Wo have the assurance of Mr G. R. Sykes, M.P., that the whole of the Wellington city members of Parliament are strong advocates of the deviation of tlip Rimutaka railway. The people of Wellington are at last awakening to the fact that the future of the Empire City largely depends upon the outlying districts, and that unless these are given quick and easy access to the city, the latter must decline. With this awakening must come the shortening of the journey between.Masterton and Wellington. Half a million cf money was expendid in. straightening, the Huttline, to serve a few hundred suburban residents. How much more necessary is it that the engineering bungle known as the Rimntaka Incline should be abandoned in favour of a route which would bring thousands of settlers in closer communication with the city, and would save tho cost of the deviation in labour and coal alone?
