ELEVATED RAILWAYS, ETC.
Sir, —As one who has seen Mr L. C. Walker’s exhibition, as well as hearing him speak to an audience of 50 at Leeston recently, I carl heartily support the idea that Mr Hiram Hunter put forward that a public meeting be organised so that Mr Walker can have at least 75 minutes to elaborate his regional planning ideas. If the Trades and Labour Council, together with the Progress League, sponsored the meeting and got our Mayor of Christchurch to take the chair, something very definite would happen. The control of the rivers, turning Lake Ellesmere into New Zealand’s wonder farm, Train X, plus an elevated railway, cheap sections and less expensive roads to those sections. As a union man, I can say Mr Walker has ideas whereby* the workers and farmers can help one another.—Yours, etc., W. B. GATES. June 13, 1954.
