THE CRUSH OF GOODS AT MERCER.
-^r,^^6win^tQjJioJfttler of "Mercer" appearing in your ussue of the\22ud jnsfc., and also to your own correapondent'a report, relative to the trucks stinding Loaded on the line at Mercer, pejrmit me to 6ay that the report of " your own is -übstantially correct, and that, while " Mercer" does not exactly say it is th.» Waikuto S, 3Sf. Co's fault that the trucks are not unloaded, still he leaves it to be inferred that it is so. I beg distinctly to contradict tin*, and to say that it is the duty of the railway authorities to discharge the trucks, and that tie fault is with the head of the department in not sending sufficient men to discharges 11. is simply impossible for the s-tition muster and one man to perform the work, and to attend to their duty about the trains. In the detention of goods at Mercer the Company are not at all to blame. — I am, &c, B. U. Hr.>T, Local Manager Waiknto Steam Navigation and Coal Mining Company Limited.
