PUBLIC OPINION

PALMERSTON NORTH RAILWAY DEVIATION. To the Editor “N.Z. Times.” Sir,—Your correspondent "Economy” i<i surely wrong in referring to this wotlk as being “unnecessary." In fairness to our Railway Manager I think it is only right to mention that this work was submitted to and received the approval of Parliament. Further, it is considered a good move by Mr Nash, M.P., and Mr Johnson, as well as other well-known land agents. The figures as stated by “Economy” are surely an error, as the department’s estimate is(in the region of 48600,000. It is furthermore probable that no difficulty will be experienced in finding the necessary amount to carry out this work, as it is more than likely that a sufficient amount has been set aside from the loan. -In conclusion, I consider that as Mr MoVillv has scheduled the work as of first importance, it- is ridiculous for “Economy” te suggest that the scheme “will not produce more revenue,” and to suggest that it Is “useless expenditure.” AWAPUNI.
