TRUNK RAILWAY.
TO THE EDITOR. _ Sir. —It seems to me that the contentious rivalry between Auckland and Wellington in regard to the trunk railway is puerile and irrelevant, — quite unreasonable. All have * long known and said that the land from New Plymouth many miles inland is among the very best, in quality if not in topography, in :'j the colony; settlement consequently desirable, and should be now. And all can see h that for rapid transit to Wellington, and ' jta 8 thence onward to the great south towns, the * straight, central line is the way. (Jet the <iii two. Cease fighting. Mr. Cadm'an said, but for the contention we might have had the Grand Trunk Railway long ago. As to the settlement of that Taranaki back land. Mr. Thompson wisely said, last night, "The question of the main trunk railway ought to be avoided in dealing with this subject" "" r (with roads and settlement). Latest news is that, in answer to a deputation, Seddon promised to immediately call for tenders, according to the Act, to proceed with south end of trunk line. This would seem to foreclose the discussion.l am, etc., February 11, 1892. W. E. Sadler.
