Sir, —Why are there two trains a week when there is hardly a load for one? Why the expediture on the Coalgate railway yard when half the size would do? Why is a traffic assistant employed doing practically nothing, when it could be .done bv the surfacemen going to work in the morning? Why is the traffic assistant (casual) allowed to handle ' postal matter? Is this waste of money and labour going on all over New Zealand?—Yours, etc., I WHY, O WHY.
April 30, 1957. [The Christchurch railways manager (Mr E. W. Hayton) had no comment to make on this letter.!
