TOUR OF THE ISLAND
Efforts were, made by the Wellington Chamber of Commerce to promote a train tour during February, 1925, and also again during April, 1929, but the response offering on those occasions was somewhat disappointing. However, since then two very successful commerce trains have heen run in the northern districts of the island, and recently a special committee of the Wellington chamber was asked to into the question with a view (o ascertaining what support would bo forthcoming from the commercial community. In its report the committee recommended that, the tour should cover 10 days and that the parly proceed as far as Waikareuioiuia in the one direction anil New Plymouth in the other: also visiting Tongariro National Bark, and including a run on the Wangamii River. The committee recommended that, the tour, if organised, take place some time in May.—Dominion.
