TRAIN AND MOTOR
NEW POLICY ANNOUNCED PRIME MINISTER’S STATEMENT CO-ORDINATION FORESHADOWED. (By Telegraph—" Times” Special Reporter.) LEVIN, June 10. What may be regarded as a statement foreshadowing a new policy in respect to the railways and the motor services was made by the Prime Minister, the Hon. J. G. Coates, to-day. Ivlr Coates said the Government was out to give encouragement to country settlers and an assurance to those settlers that their conditions would be made better than they were receiving at present. He wanted the Railway Board to take the view that the country settler was just as essential a unit to the railways as the city dweller was. There was no reason why all the motor services of the country districts should not be linked up with the railways. Those services could be utilised in providing fitting adjuncts to the railway, and by this means the railways would be able to undertake a service of through delivery of goods right from the point of embarkation to ihe home of' the settler.
