FIFTY YEARS AGO
CONTROL OF RAILWAYS The establishment of board control of tho New Zealand Railways was advocated by Sir Julius in a public works statement submitted to the House of Representatives half a century ago. Following is an extract from his report, which appeared in the New Zealand Hkrald of August 26, 1885: " The best method of governing the railways is by a board of commissioners. I have taken a considerable amount or pains in preparing a bill providing tor the appointment of these boards, and the measure of success or otherwise which will attend their labours, always providing that care is exercised "J selecting good men, will much dep«n on the amount of power Parliament win give them."
