CONTROVERSY OVER NAME, [BX TELHOBAPH. —OWN COBBESPqKDENT.3 GREYMOUTH. Tuesday.
A controversy is proceeding respecting the name of the Otira Tunnel. The Canterbury Progress League contends that it should be " Arthur's Pass," instead of Otira, and in this the league is supported ■by the Hokitika Progress League. Many residents of Greymouth are against the suggestion, contending that as the tunnel has long been known all over the world as Otira, the change would occasion endless confusion.
