MOTOR COMPETITION.
OUT TO MEET IT. RAILWAY DEPARTMENT'S POLICY. (By Telegraph.—Special to " Star.") WELLINGTON, this day. The Minister of Public Works, discussing the main highways poLcy with a deputation of Otago members'to-day, referred to the effect of the highways policy in remedying the anomaly that motor transport used a track for which it did not pay while competing with the railways, which had to maintain their own track. He said that if Parliament could get the Motor Vehicles Bill through in some shape session it would even up things, but he was not relying entirely on this. "We have important proposals to put into operation dealing with | road competition," he added. "We are going out to meet motor competition, and take business away from them! They might just as well know it."
