SHUNTING CONDITIONS
INQUIRY CONTINUED.
(BI TEIEORAPB.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.) ' PALMERSTON N., This Day. The shunting inquiry was continued this morning. Mr. Skinner, attendance officer to the Wanganui Education Board, gave evidence that he had had eight years' experience of shunting at Wellington, ending in 1896. Later he was employed in the Natal Cfovernment yards as a shunter. In the course of lengthy evidence, witness said he considered that shunting in New Zealand was child's play compared with that in Natal, owing to the obsolete yards there. After hearing further evidence, the board adjourned, owing to Mr. Mack being required to proceed to Wellington. Meantime, until the sitting is resumed locally the board will resume its normal function of investigating railway matters generally.
