The Railway Block.
(By Telegbaph.)
(Per Press Association.)
Wellington, This day,
Referring to the block in traffic between Wellington and Napier, the Times says it is as well to face the truth, and the fact is that the Government has attempted an impossible task. The Rimutaka Incline is blamed by the authorities, but the incline will be there for years and should havft betjtfi taken into account. Going overlt/tflf whole available engine power is sometimes used, with the result that the fumes from the coal put out the lamps and almost choke the passengers. The Government, the Times thinks ought to take full advantage of the Manawatu line to get the traffic out of the hobble in which it is placed.
