THE NORTH ISLAND TRUNK RAILWAY.
PROGRESS TOWARDS COMPLETION. [United Peess Association.] WELLINGTON, Wednesday. Mr Holmes, Engiheer-in-Chief in the Public Works Department, who returned from the North to-day, informed a "Post" reporter that he was satisfied that if the weather during the coming winter was not unusually bad, the North Island Main Trunk Railway would be open for traffic at the end of the year. He thinks that the-Maka-tote viaduct will be finished in two months, and that at the end of this month the gap between the railheads will be reduced to nine miles.
