THE RAILWAY "CUT."
SAVING OF £IOO,OOO THIS YEAR.
(SPECIAL TO "THE PBE3S.") WELLINGTON, August 9
The Acting-Minister of Railways says decidedly that a. reduction of services on non-paying lines must be made, and that the proposed "cut" will mean a saving of no less than £IOO,OOO this year. The only reason that the "cut" was not made at an earlier date was that Cabinet was loth to interfere in any way with trade facilities, if it was at all possible not to do so. As time went on, however, the necessity of retrenchment in this direction became apparent, and the country will benefit as the result of the large saving that will be effected. *
