THE LYTTELTON TUNNEL DEPUTATION.
TO THB EDITOR Of TH» FRKSS,"
Sir, —The Prime Minister says he is laying all his cards on the table. What cards will the deputation have?- Let us hope their trump card will be the tunnel road, with access to the wharves. We want our wharves the same as Auckland, so that our lornes can go down and bring up our cargo with on;; handhnjj and much saving of tinie. Lf we cannot bring the harbour to Christchurch, let us endeavour to brin« Christchurch to the harbour, ft-i we v.'Hi be doing by having a pxoper road through the hill. Canterbury can pav for it —the c-ost will not bo excessive. A short line of railway, only seven miles, is now an out-of-date method of bringing goods to the town. I do hop-.? the deputation will stand strongly ior this., which is the only at present available. Llectrification has no interest for ine sor, I should thin\, for any other merchant. —Aouis, mACFARLANE. Chriiitchurch, March 3.
