Untidy Railway Crossings
Sir,—Does the inspector of ■ permanent way ever have an inspection of railway cross- > ings? Sawyers Arms road is . the most untidy crossing and ; no credit to the Railways Department. The white rails ; and posts have been lying i in the grass ever since a fatal i accident some months ago. I The noxious weeds alongside , the railway lines are the best . examples of certified “A” - grade plants anywhere in . New Zealand. If the Govern- > ment makes laws about t noxious weeds, why not put I its own house in order first? —Yours, etc., B. TIDY. February 5, 1965. [The district engineer of , the Railways Department , (Mr J. C. Sandford) said: i “The noxious weed in the ' vicinity of Sawyers Arms road ! will be sprayed in the next , few days. The fence will be . reinstated this week.”]
