ONE ROR MR. LYSNAR Fir Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. Referring to a published statement by Mr. W. L>. Lysnar, about the present position of the negotiations for the completion of the Gisbortic-Napier railway by an English syndicate, Mr. C. 0. Morse, Mayor of Napier, who was a member of the deputation that recently waited on the Acting-Prime Minister, Sir Alfred Ransom, and the actingMinister of Railways, Hon. K. Masters, informed a reporter in Wellington that ho detinitely dissociated himself from such opinions as declared, that the deputation had been dissatisfied with what had been done by the Government and the Ministers now in London. On tlio contrary, he was well satisfied that everything possible had been done by the Ministers in looking into a matter involving an expenditure running into over £2,000,000. Any reasonable man, said Mr. Morse, necessarily would adopt the attitude of thoroughly investigating an issue, particularly if it meant putting into the hands of a private company a portion of the New Zealand Railway's.
