Stewart, one of the surveying experts of the Public Works Department, who has been engaged recently on the survey of the Wairoa-Gisbornc line, arrived in Christchurch yesterday, and will be in charge of the survey parties, which are to operate between Parnassus and Kaikoura. To-day Mr. Stewart leaves for Kaikoura to get an idea of the country through which the line is to be constructed. The survey parties are to do permanent line pegging from Parnassus northward, and will start operations with as little delay as possible. It is understood that Mr. Stewart is arranging for the parties to consist to a large extent of experienced men who have been with him on similar jobs.
