THE TRUNK RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — Public attention has been called to the above in the Auckland papers, and I think it is near time the local paper took up the subject in the interests of right and the "Waipa. A few advocates of note and wealth may educate the public to think the line proposed by Mr J. C. Firth, as an alternative line, is the best, but it is the duty of those who know better to make their views public, and, if need be, call public meetings in all centres of population to advocate the most direct line, the cheapest line, and the line most likely to pay between Auckland and Wellington. That line is the one from Te Awainutu. We shall be met by that everlasting bogy the Native "difficulty," but I will only say that if two bottles of ram will settle a man like Winiata, an equal quantity will make or smooth a native difficulty. Let this subject be well ventilated by public meetings, and lesolutions on the subject forwarded to our member for his guidance in the matter. I hope the subject will receive the attention it deserves at the hands of the people of Waipa.
