NAPIER/ thi day 1 . Referring to the Napier-Gisborne ferry service, the Telegraph remarks: — ; "What has become known as the ferryty service between Napier v and Giabpyijg ,„. . now ceases for the. winter:' mqtfths. \ "Itrff." has been in operation practically all. through the; past summer, and; !»*?.,_ proved a great boon to the travelling, public. For a number of yeari. :t<_*c6___i-jii.t ; the sea traffic between the . two ports?, must . increase, and from this point i offview it is to be hoped that the service,, started somewhat as an experiment, will', be resumed with the commencement of. next summer season. The arranger.; .. 4 ment came fairly near to ; giving the people of the two centres a daily service, seeing that . ordinary, coastal boats.: assisted in : the traffic, a; convenience;' 61.. '• •the greatest value, and one tending ip the good of both districts served. Some day, of course, a railway from Napier to» GisboTne will be r uririing;. (although the^. Massey Government as soon i, as rti-goi". into power did pass an. > Act rembY,i,ng; ; the line from Giftborne-Southward out. of the list of authorised works;) .But. even with ju_*tiee doJie in vthis matter.-., some years must elapse- before^" throuffh. railway communication -is possible. .. Hence as the commercial -and general travelling public will liave; to"", depend; ,9o-c. much upon the Union, Steamship. Comr pany, i.t is to be hoped tliat next seasoSb/v, will see Ifre ferry service resumecV" Y*A* . 1
