THE RAILWAY FROM HAWERA TO STRATFORD.
I_PBB UNITED PBESS ASSOCIATION.] New Plymouth, Friday night.
A deputation waited on the Hon. the Minister of Public Works this morning with reference to the construction of the railway from Stratford to Hawera.
Mr. Hulke urged that it was a very desirable work, and should be pushed forward as rapidly as possible, as a part of the road was almost impassable during the winter months. '
The Hon. Mr. Oliver stated that the Government would complete the works with all possible expedition, and intimated that the delay which had occurred already waa solely due to the fact that the settlers of the district had disputed as to the direction of the line, and it was only in consequence of his recant visit to . Hawera that- the Government would be enabled to come to a decision upon the matter, and the work would consequeutly be undertaken imme J diately.
