RAILWAY TRIUMVIRATE
WHO WILL BE THIRD MAN?
Speculation is rife in the .New Zealand Government railway service as to the possible identity of the third member of the new Board of Management. The two members already appointed are Messrs F. J. Jones (chief engineer) and Jas. Mason (first assistant general manager'). The failure to complete the Board Immediately has given rise to many extraordinary rumours, not the least Interesting of which is the suggested appointmeht of a young English visitor who accompanied the English Commissioft on the inspection Of the Levin-Greatford deviation route. What other explanation can be given of the delay in "empanelling the jury?" It is well known that the late General Manager had •'someone” specially in view for succession to the throne, but the new turn of affairs has put Out of court Mr McVilly’s nominee, and there would now appear to be grave doubt of the ability of that officer to climb aboard the commission.
