(By Telegrapn.—Own Correspondent.)
CHRISTCHURCH, this day
An indication that the Prime Minister does not intend much time to be lost in starting the work of completing the South Island main trunk railway is given by the fact that a survey of the line from Parnassus northward is to be put in hand forthwith.
Mr. A. Stewart, one of the surveying experts of the Public Works Department, who has been engaged recently on a survey of the Wairoa-Gisborne line,
arrived in Christchurch yesterday and will be in charge of the survey parties ( which are to operate between Parnassus and Kaikoura. To-day Mr. Stewart left for Kaikoura to get an idea of the country through which the line is to be constructed. The survey parties are to do permanent line pegging from Parnassus northward, and will start operations with as little delay as possible. It 5h understood that Mr. Stewart is arranging for parties to consist to a largo extent of experienced men who have been with him on similar jobs.
