“ The railways are not run by magic,” a notice in the current month’s issue of the New Zealand Railways Magazine sbts out. “The financial factor comes in always.” The notice is an appeal to officers and men of the Railways Department to avoid waste. “The instinct of self-preservation warns all railwaya employees to-day that if their positions are to remain safe they must exert themselves to the utmost to decrease expenditure to increase revenue. Self-interest alone should prompt everybody to be economical in respect of all materials. If the keenest attention to the principles and practice of economy made an average saving of only Id a day for each railway employee, the total gain in the year would exceed £50,000."
