MINERS' APPEAL
WANT MOTOR TRANSPORT
WORK AT DENXISTOIV <PA.) WESTPORT, Thursday. Miners living in Westport and travelling daily by motor bus to Denniston have been advised that the petrol allowance cannot continue and that thoy must in future travel by train. They point out that this is impossible, as work at the mine begins at 7.30 a.m. and by train they would not reach Waimangaroa, at the foot of Denniston Hill, until about 8 o'clock. They have made an appeal, through the Hon. P. 0. Webb, to the controller at Christchurch, for a review of the decision.
Denniston is situated on the top of the Mount Rockford Plateau, 1960 feet above sea-level. Waimangaroa is seven miles away by road.
