At a meeting of the Pembroke branch o! the Otago Central Railway League, it was decided that the question of a narrow gauge railway to Hawea Plat should stand in abeyance until every means axe exhausted in procuring the extension of the present line. According to the report of the ‘Cromwell Argus’ the president (Mr M‘Dougall) remarked that Mr J. A. Millar, M.H.R., was an opponent of theirs, as he was not in favor of the continuance of the line beyond Clyde. Mr Millar, he added, had yet to show that expenditure on the Otago Central was squandering. Mr Millar was not a practical man, and his remarks were but so much theatrical bombast.
