"Wo have been too lenient with the Railways Department in the past; we have just lakvn what they have given us and taken off our hats and said 'thank you,' " said Mr. E. A. Allan, of Pukekolie, when introducing a remit from the Franklin Association to that effect at the annual meeting of tlto Auckland Provincial Council of A. and P. associations yesterday. "We want more." said Mr. Allan. "If we press for it wo will get it."
