THE RAILWAY DEVIATION.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—This week I read a report of an interview with Mr Grey Young, the architect for tlio new Wellington railway station. No one grudges Wellington a new station, but when the arcnitect speaks of the grandeur of the building “that only tlio travelled have seen —with its palatial ticket lobby, which has the height and area of the nave of a grand cathedral —-Palmeiston North residents will be forgiven if they are critical of such extravagant expenditure on the part of tho Government, when the railway needs ot New Zealand’s largest railway centie are so urgent. ~ , . Palmerston North residents have been very patient over the cessation ot the railway deviation work, considering tho danger, annoyance, and noise of the trains running through the centre of the city during the whole twenty-four hours of the day. When Messrs Forbes and Coates return to New Zealand I hope Mr Nash will have no difficulty in having this work proceeded with while money is cheap and labour anxiously waiting to lie employed. Or will it lie left for a Labour Government to see justice done to Palmerston North?—l am etc., JUSTICE FOR PALMERSTON.
