LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
ADDRESS-IN-REPLY
The Legislative Council met at 2.30
The debate on the Addrcss-in-Beply was continued by the Hon. G. J. Garland, who said that for years past he had favoured the commercialising of our railways. Some non-paying lines could with advantage be scrapped. He condemned the continuance of the South Island Main Trunk line from Parnassus to Blenheim, which ho asserted would not pay. The South Island was now well served by the present ferry service. He dealt at somo length with the wheat question. His strong opinion was that wheat grown within the Empire should be free from duty to us. The present high price of fowl wheat made successful poultry farming difficult, if not impossible.
(Proceeding.)
