OUR RAILWAYS.
MR McKEREOW INTERVIEWED. A SATISFACTORY REPORT. (BY TKLEGIUPH.— own cohiikspondknt). Auckland, List Night. Mu McKekkow, Chief Commissioner of Railways, was interviewed by a St. ir reporter to-day. He said that tbr steady policy of the Commissioners had been to encourage the productive resources of the colony. The railway trallic had slightly improved throughout the colony. Owing to the defective harvest in the South last yar, there was a very large shrinkage in the amount of grain carried, and that had affected the receipts materially, but in a'l other departments especially the number of passengers carried, the increase had been very marked. The passenger traffic was the largest ever recorded in ttie colony.
