CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The organiser of the Progress League, after inspecting Otira Tunnel, says that trains should run through within the next three or four weeks, and that slips on the Midland line will not delay the opening. Nevertheless, he was disappointed at the amount of work still to be carried out, and the fact that progress work is suffering from want of co-operation between those in charge of various branches at the Dtii'a end. He was surprised to find the electrical contractors and engineers still in sole possession of the power station, and that- none of the Railway Department's permanent men had arrived. Furthermore, the electric locomotive drivers have nut yet put in an appearance.
