WORKSHOPS STARVED
MONEY FOR “WHITE ELEPHANTS” “The effect of the Government’s railway construction policy is that the workshops at Petone are being starved,” declared Mr. H. F. Johnston, Reform candidate for the Hutt seat, in a speech at Moera last night. “The money is going to unskilled labour for the building of white elephants in the South Island,” he added. “That is the result of embarking upon heavy financial undertakings without a proper inquiry. The outcome mTII be that our rolling stock will go back and it will take millions to restore it."
