Large lilocks of land could be opened up by adoptinc the central route, whilo if the Taranaki line was adopted, they would have to compete aeainst the steamship companies. Dr Newman, M.H.R., (convenor of the meeting) moved : "That in the opinion of this meeting, it is desirable to form a. Central Railway League, to vigorously p-osecute the North Island Main Trunk Railway from Marton to Te Awamutu, and such League is hereby established."

The resolution was carried, and a strong committee electod to manage the businoss of the League. _________
