NO SIDE-TRACKING EAST COAST RAILWAY
MINISTER’S ASSUBANCE, Per Press Association. GISBOBNE, Last Night. Hon. K. 8, Williams, Minister of Public Works, was to-day waited upon by a deputation from tho Bailway Development League and was asked to hasten the decision as to the route the trunk railway will take between Wairoa and Gisborne. Tho Minister replied that ho would ask his engineers if tho investigation of the construction costs as between the coastal route and the inland route had proceeded far enough to justify a decision now. If their answer was in the affirmative, he ’would not hesitate to make a statement, but he refused t.o have the engineers bustled into a position that might bo attacked later. The Minister gave an assurance that the time spent in investigating tho respective routes would bo fully justified and that the Government had no intention of delaying or side-tracking Gisborne’s railway connection with other cpntrcs.
