RIVAL RAILWAY ROUTES.
[BX TELEGHAPH — SPECIAL TO THE POST.] AUCKLAND, This Day. The rival routes of the IS'orth Auckland Railway came up for discussion at a council meeting of the Auckland Railway's League to-day, when the following resolution, was passed and ordered to be wired to their chairman, now in Wellington, with a request that he convey it to the Prime Minister : — "That while the policy of the league has hitherto been not to interfere with the routes of the railway, but to leave the question to the Government engineers to decide upon, etill, as a Royal Commission is to be appointed to settle the route north of M'Carroll's Gap, the league now advocates the extension of the scope of the Royal Commission to the deviation question south of the Gap, seeing that, as shown by the evidence given before the committee of the House (M to Z) there is a serious difference of opinion _as to the cost of the south deviation, even as between engineers high in position in the Public Works Department. To put this question beyond doubt, the league urges that all places and sections which, according to the evidence, are in possession of the department, should be in evidence before the intended Royal Commission."
