RAILWAY FINANCE
Sir,—The published accounts of the year's working of the New Zealand railways omit to mention a sonum-hat '• important point, i.e., part played by the relief worker under No. 5 scheme. Much work is being done afc Otahuhu and elsewhere that is abs<v hitely necessary to the proper working of the railways, which work, if paid for out of revenue at current rates of. wages, would have an appreciably adverse result on the balance-sheet. N 0 doubt the Railways Board is performing modern miracles, but, after all, i§| "fair is fair," and credit should be given to those who do the work and do it well for little more than a pittance. Unemployed.
