" You are soliciting practical assistance- as to where a good supply of " hard ' coal can be immediately obtained. When one has the sole control of securing the requirements of the Dominion, backed with Government i assistance, it is rather late in the day to I solicit aid when your department has been | in a Quandary about its Coal Supply for the ; last four years, though allowing coal to be ; exported. Evidently you have been caught ! naDning, like the foolish. Virgins, with lamps and no oil. Couldn't you get your engines slightly altered, if they wally require it, to utilise * soft ' coal for goods traffic, or reduce the speed, say, eight to ten miles per hour, which would be far better than having idle' roiling stock, not producing revenue, and crying for help or you perish? Champion is willing to exchange positions with you for & couple of months. v.. AUCKLAND." E. And O.E. SOLDIEBS BETTTRNING. HAVE A PORTRAIT OF FAMILY GROUP TO COMMEMORATE THE OCCASION.
