TRAIN TRAVEL
SOUTH ISLAND CUT NO RESTRICTION IN NORTH (P.A.) WELLINGTON, this day. The Minister of Railways, Mr. Semple, announced to-day that a further review had been made of the coal position as affecting the railway service, and although there had been a partial resumption of work at the coal mines it will be necessary to impose rail restrictions throughout the South Island as from Monday. The coal position so far as railways are concerned in the North Island is somewhat better than the South Island, ?nd it is not proposed to introduce restrictions in the North Island meantime, but this may be necessary at a later date should the coal position deteriorate. The Minister appeals to the people generally throughout the country to refrain from unnecessary travel at this juncture in order that normal rail services throughout the Dominion may be restored as soon as possible.
