The carriages have been thoroughly renovated, and the improvements are of such a character that passengers have been provided with every comfort as regards seating accommodation. It is to be hoped that the Railways Department will have all the second class carriages fitted out in a similar manner as early aa possible. • RELIEF WORKS Very useful work is being carried out in various partp of the borough by relief workers under the Unemployment Board’s No. 5 scheme.
