EAST COAST RAILWAY
In the course of a Farmers' Unfo» 1 deputation to the Premier at Aucfclard M last week Major Lusk put in apleafe I the settlers round about Matata. Tk I Kangitaiki drainage operations, he ex- ffi plained, had resulted in the course m I a river being diverted, and as that ■ river helped to form the little harbour j at Matata settlers were threatens | with complete isolation, until the m g Coa-t railway passed. What those j| seitlers wanted, therefore, was an et | peditious construction of the secW | between Matata and Tauranga. lw I Prime Minister promised to place twl I matter before the Minister of PubM j Works. He explained that the number ■ of men on railway works would pro&j | ably be increased before long, a™ 1 that the East Coast railway in parti**' I lar would benefit. . ... I At the annual rreeting of Ihe YiW I Chamber of Commerce, held on W* nesday night, a resolution was paSSj urging the immediate resumption« work on the East Coast railway irom the Waihi end."
