The Fielding Star. WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1894. MAKINO RAILWAY STATION.
The suggestions made by a correspondent, in our issue of Monday last, are very reasonable and therefore deserving of the favourable consideration of the Railway Commissioners. In order to protect goods which arrive at night, or at times when consignees cannot take delivery of them, a suitable goods shed is certainly needed, and the cost of its erection would be more than justified by the rapidly increasing goods traffic to the station, owing to the steady progress of settlement in that part at the district of which the Makino station may be truly described as the gateway. The extension of the public platform to such a length as would make it perperfectly safe for passengers to detrain at night, would also be an improvement entailing no great expense to make. Hitherto there have, fortunately, ber>n no accidents there, but in the darkness of the winter nights now upon us, liability to personal injury will always exist to passengers, unless the work indicated is accomplished. As the Makino is within the boundaries of the Borough of Feilding, we trust that the Borougli Councillors will take the matter up, and use their influence to have the Makino Railway Station made equal to the requirements of that important section of the Borough.
