Nearly 6 Million Tons by RailAverage of 2f pence a Ton Per Mile. OFFICIAL statements during recent years have reminded New Zealanders that their railways could be made to “pay” (in the hard-and-fast book-keeping sense of the word “pay”) if the low rates for heavy freight were increased, but such procedure would be against the-railways’ working policy, which gives fair national consideration to the welfare of industries, primary and secondary. (Bl The national importance of the railways’ freight service is seen in the figures for the past year—an aggregate of 5,824,8 I I tons, carried at an average charge of 2.38 pence (less than 2| pence) a ton per -mile.
