Sir Julius Vogel was not very happy in his reply to Mr B.eetiiasi, that the Government could not undertake to establish telephonic communication with Dreyertown, Manriceville, and Eketahuna, as the result would not justify the expenditure. The Government expects to have the railway opened to Mauriceville by the end of the year, and that means that a wire will be stretched to there. All that, will then remain is the section from Manriceville to Eketahuna, which could not be very expensive, The negative answer really applies to two places With which the Government, according to its own showing, is bound to establish communication before many months have passed.
