WEST COAST NOTES.
(Fhom Odb Own Correspondent.) GREYMOUTH, July 20. Altogether 20 tip wagons and 120 tons of rails which were used in the construction of the railway to Glenhope have been removed and shipped to the Auckland district, where a new railway is in course of construction. When in Wellington Mr H. L. Michel brought before the Government the question of the unsatisfactory tenure of temporary grazing leases on the West Coast, and urged that where the present occupiers did not hold other large areas they should have prior right to the leases. Mr Massey promised to consider the question when the commissioner's report was being dealt with.
