ELEVATED RAILWAY
Sir,—Your leading article on the battle of the international air ports prompts me to express disgust at the lack of support from Canterbury, We are ready to take giant strides forward with irrigation and industry if we have the leadership capable of thinking and planning ahead for 50 years instead of to the next party machine nominations. All forms of transport are now the vital issue- L. C. Walker has given us the answer to part of our problem, but are we too blind to see? Dredge from the Estuary to the Waimakariri; turn the shingle, which is today a .deadly menace, into a profit; get the railway built up and save those overhead bridge costs. In the meantime, could we get our boys with their pet dogs to scratch the hole through the hill?—Yours, etc., , T.W.R. August 30, 1954.
