WELLINGTON AND MASTERTON RAILWAY.

|[To the Editor'of the , Sir,—l notjee jn your issue of to-day's date, a jeport of an accident occurring'on, tiie rajlyay |ina near'jjlaitolte. I trust 5 this will be. a vyarnipsr lQ the authorises, and that it may lead them to seriously consider the advisability, of discontinuing t|)e goods trafljc in connection with the paosenger trafl|c on the atave line, at all events on that portion of the line which' intervenes between Gross's Greek anil! the Upper Hutt. My opinion is that it would be better to run but one train each day, if there ia not suffioieut passenger traffic to support two, than to still continue this combination of traffic If the authorities don't sea their, way dear ! to make this alteration, then the sooner 'we go back to tjio old Cobb's.'coach the better." . '..,,, t ~,. ~,..._.. What carrier of goods ; and passengers from;'h)re to Wellmgfbhj waulJ think of carrying passengers upon or. in.conneofion with a- six horse team with six tons behind'it goine down the Rimntaka or Mungaroa. Why he would be continually

running the risk of incurring notions for' damages to life and limb ? Such a prnce< dure on his part would be simply ridiculous, and he would therefore with due respect for the lives arid comfort of passengers use proper means and appliances for their safety. Trusting these few remarks may lead to soma alteration.,. ..... _,... ■'.-" lam, Ac, • v )':■■' ■'.-..; ■■••■ .Qne.whotravsis. •
