RAILWAY EFFICIENCY
SO THK r,DITOH. Sir, —While thanking you for obtaining thorn, “Midland” is far fxom satisfied with the reply given to the second question in his letter published on the 20th inst. Disgruntled suburbanites who missed the last car in town owing to the l«»e arrival of the 10.16 p.m. Mosgiel-Dunedin train cannot accept the paltry excuse of the officer in charge of train running for causing them such preventable inconvenience. May I trouble you again by asking you to obtain answers to a further two questions?—(a) Were those in authority at Mosgiol aware of the fact that horses were to bo shunted off there or at Wingatui? If not, why not? (b) If aware, why did they allow the Gore race special to have the line when the 10.15 p.m. suburban could have been sent away on time, and could have been in Dunedin fifteen minutes ahead of the special, which was not a time-table train, and carried but few passengers? —I am, etc., Midland. March 21.
[The department takes the that this correspondent has. been sufficiently answered. —Ed. E.S.]
