GISBORNE RAILWAY.
GOVERNMENT TERMS DISLIKED. (Per Press Association). WAIROA, August 8. At a meeting of local bodies the chairman (Mr FI. L. Harker) read correspondence from Mr H. M. Campbell, M.P., covering the conditions under which the Government is prepared to had over the East Coast railway enterprise to a company or syndicate. These were held to be confidential and not to he used until Gisborne has bad time to consider them and put forward its plans. Generally speaking, however, the meeting considered the terms ridiculous and quite out of the power of people to undertake. The chairman put forward another scheme providing for the use of unemployed labour. Under this scheme the cost of the Wairoa section would not amount to more than'£9oo a year as a district charge. There tho matter stands at present, but further comment will probably be heard after Gisborne has decided on the attitude it will take up.
