RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION
TAWA FLAT DEVIATION iPer Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Mr. W. H. Field, M.P., speaking at a local function, said he was in a position to state that either the Railways of Public Works would make a definite pronouncement on the Tawa Flat deviation. The work would be in progress within a year, and probably this year. Much comment has been excited lately by the Government’s silence in connection with this project, which was announced some two years ago. It, involves a two-mile tunnel to get rid of the heavy grades leading out of the city on the old Mnnawatu line.
