A step -which promises to be an emin- | ently progressive one, says the Invercargill correspondent of the New Zealand "Railway Officers’ Advocate,” has- justbeen taken by the department in the creation of a transport officer for the district. This officer will have under his direction the train running and all transportation business, including wagon- distribution, checking of guards’ sheets, plant returns, etc. There is no doubt that by linking the train running and the transportation business together and bringing them under one head; a distinct advantage will result. Greater cooperation, which should reduce to a minimum haulage of rolling stock, goods, etc., and also obviate the duplication of instructions, should be ensured. The benefit jyhicih this arrangement will confer upon consignors is at once apparent, and i± dhould be of great assistance to them, especially at times when wagon supplies are in demand.
