LIMITED EXPRESSES.
TE KUITI GRIEVANCE. INCONVENIENCE FEARED. MINISTER SHOWS SYMPATHY. [BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] TE KUITI. Saturday. A deputation, headed by the Mayor, Mr. H. Rothcry, waited on the Minister for Railways last evening and placed before him the disadvantage to Te Kuiti caused by the new train service. It was explained that if as proposed the second express now following the limited was discontinued after the holidays a Te Kuiti business man would have to spend two nights in Auckland to do an hour's business. If the second express was taken off the north-bound limited should be stopped. The town had had the express for 14 years, and if the proposed arrangements were put into practice it would be worse off than before that period. The Minister discussed the position with the deputation, and stated that the department could not eliminate Te Kuiti from a reasonable service. Representations had been made at Wellington, and he personally would see what could be done.
