NAPIER-GISBORNE-AUCKLAND.
MR. GHEAL’S MISSION. Gisborne, June 5. Mr. Cheat, chairman of the Auckland Railway League, on his return from Mota, said he was surprised to find a strong feeling in this district that Auckland had not backed up Gisborne’s interest in Parliament but he thought he had succeeded assuring the Motu settlers that the Auckland League was with them in the building of the trunk line through to Napier. Mr. Cheal, in his address, emphasised the need for unity of action. He assured the meeting that the north of Auckland wa® satisfied that the East Coast line, was the most important to be carried out on account of the great area of waste land it would tap. The reason they had always talked the AucklandGisborne line and no further was because Hawke’s Bay might take umbrage at interference in- their district. His visit was intended to obtain the unity of the three provinces and a more liberal allocation of loan moneys in the future.
