SOUTH ISLAND MAIN TRUNK
INSPECTION BY DEPARTMENTAL OFFICIALS COUNTRY THE LINE WILL TRAVERSE (By Telegraph-Press Association) BLENHEIM, This Day. Departmental officials who have been inspecting the route of the South Islahd Main Trunk Railway during the week-end, completed their investigations and left this morning via the trans-island highway for Westport.
The party not only examined the country the line will traverse but interviewed settlers to ascertain the probable business to be derived from the carriage of goods and livestock when the railway is opened. Members of the party refused to comment, stating that they were making a report to the Minister. The purpose of the visit to the West Coast is to inspect the unfinished section of the Inangahua line.
