THE WEST OF ENGLAND CARGO SERVICE
ft!Y telegraph.—own CORRESPONDENT.] J) r.NED Sa I. rd ay. Speaking to a press representative on the subject of the west: of England cargo service, Sir J. G. Ward said:—"The steamers are going to Manchester every trip. That is being done voluntarily by the contractors, who, acting on the advice of the Department, have had the masts and funnels of the steamers shortened so as to enable the vessels to do this. I regard it as a very good thing for the colony. It is what we have been trying to get for some time, and now we have got it without much difficulty, and without any cost to us."
