TUNNEL ROAD
Sir,—l think the Prime Minister has taken the correct attitude about the tunnel road, and that Mr Taylor knows what he is saying about handling cargo. What it amounts to is that the wharves will have to be made suitable shunting grounds for railway trucks and lorries: then the ships win have to be made sorting places for the lorries’ goods. That is Ohly lor outgoing cargo; the incoming is Worse still. The ships will not be stowed at the other end to suit the lorries at this end. When boiled down, it comes to this: there must be sorting sheds at Lyttelton or Christchurch. If we must build a tunnel road for cargoes of bananas •nd weU and good; anyway, ft will help to open up the peninsula. —Yours, etc , G.W. April 30, 1954.
