SANDON-FOXTON TRAMWAY
EXTENSION ADVOCATED. Special to the “Times.” MARTON, January 14. Tho extension of tho Sandon-Fdxton tramway is now receiving attention, and the Hon. IV. H. Herries, Minister ot Railways, is coining into tho district to inquire into the question. At the meeting of the Marton Borough Council last night it was stated that the Minister intended to visit the district about tho third week in February, travelling by train from Foxton to Pukenui (near Bulls), whence a car will convey him to Marton, as nearly along the proposed extension route as possible. The Manawatu county asked the borough’s 00-operation in obtaining leave to connect the tram line with the State lino at Marton. The Mayor (Mr R. E. Beckett) stated -(hat he intended to moot the Minister. He thought that topographically Marton was tho best place te make the connection. He thought it would also be much more convenient, with all the express trains connecting at Marton, and would save transferring passengers and luggage from Grcatford to Marton.
