It is rumoured in Blenheim (the “Marlborough Express” states) that, despite the Railways Board’s efforts to improve the financial position of the Nelson section, it continues to go from bad to worse, and that there is every likelihood of the line being closed down in the immediate future. On the other hand, the economies and reorganisation effected on the Picton section are said to have had the effect of so j improving the financial outlook that the line is more or less paying its way, and iit is understood that the officials in j Wellington are well satisfied, so far, J with the improvement, which is believj ed to indicate that a little more rej organisation and development of the j services would result in the section | more than balancing its budget. j Milk whicli is supplied in British j schools to 80.(XX) children at the rate | of one-third of a pint each day is sold to the schools at 2s a gallon.
