The lato Runaway on the Rimutalsa

(To the Editor.); Sin.—l Bee Mr Beetham is moving ill this matter, and will ho doubt succeed in obtaining an explanation which will appear satisfactory. What the publie want, however, is not mere explanation, but efficient precaution for tho future, Now, there can bo no doubt that the only change which can be made, to onsuro a fair degree of safety, is by reducing the weight of the trains, so that if anything breaks or s;ocb wrong there will not ho such'an enormous force to control. The one thing, therefore, k to run the incline section mib'passengm only. So long as the dangerous practice is allowed of taking goods, and long strings of " einptios," so long there must bo danger, I|ot thjs fact, therefore, b? urged on the Commissioners m strongly • as possible, and they will no doubt make the change. < I am, etc, A Constant Tkaveller,

This appears to. me a more reasohablo interpretation- of what Mr; Dollow would say, and; however much we may differ as to the suitableness of tin time and place chosen for these utterances, to must admit his earnest efforts to warn young people against oven the appearance of evil, Mr Dollow is far too well known and respected in this district for, any suggestion' of deliberate misrepresentation . to have tho least weight. ■Yours &c, .'
