MILFORD SOUND TRACK.
RADIO COMMUNICATION.
TOURIST DEPARTMENT'S PLAN. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. One of the obvious advantages of radio telephony is that it enables communication to be carried on between points which cannot easily be connected by wires. One place in New Zealand in which ready communication is very desirable, but where it would be, if wired telephones were used, prohibitively costly, is on the section of Milford track between Glade House and Lake Te Anau, The Tourist Department has ordered a 200-watt radiophone equipment for use in this section, which is traversed by steamer. It is impossible to lay a telephone line round the almost inaccessible forest-clad shore of the lake, and the absence of means of communication has long been very inconvenient.
