RAILWAY PROJECTS

RATIO OF ENTHUSIASM

THE CANTERBURY DISAGREE-

MENT

[fkom our correspondent.]

CHRISTCHURCH, July 16. ' The Press this morning says editorially : "Perhaps it Avas because they Avere politicians and daily occupied in criticising each other that tho members of the Canterbuiy deputation that waited on tho Hon. Mr Coates at Wellington yesterday' dis- , agreed amongst themsolAres as to tho ratio of their enthusiasm amongst the railway projects in. the northern half of this island. They -must not do this again.' Nothing pleases n harried Minister more than f the sight of local disagreements, because then lie can feel that he need not do anything in a hurry. We hope that the progress League Avill ponder upon this small incident. It is a lesson upon the necessity for a clear policy without any possibilities of misunderstanding, and a lesson that tho recent little quarrel witl^ Marlborough slioavs to be necessary."
