Railway Deviation to be Suspended
GOVERNMENT DECISION EXPENSE NOT WARRANTED Press Association WELLINGTON, To-day. That the Government has decided to suspend work on the Palmerston North railway deviation was stated by Sir Joseph Ward, Prime Minister, this morning. When the deviation was proposed in 1924, the expenditure was suggested because traffic developments at that point indicated that it would double in 12£ years. Subsequent indications have shown that this expectation will not be fulfilled and that crucial fact, coupled with financial considerations, has determined the Government in deciding to suspend work.
