THE RAILWAY.
By the following letter from the Premier it would appear that no decision has as yet been arrived at respecting the through route of the railway, but that thorough estimates of the enst of each route will be made before any conclusion will be come to:— To the Hon. M. Richmond, C.8., M.L.C.; the Hon. T. Renwick, M.L.C.; and the other gentlemen who signed the letter. Gentlemen, —I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th August, enclosing copy of resolutions respecting the railway from Nelson to the West Coast, which were adopted at a public meeting held in Nelson on the 7th August. 2. I will haud the documents to the Minister for Public Works, who will, I am sure, give them the utmost consideration. 3. I wish to observe that, as I understand, the ; department have not come to any decision as to the i route the line is to take between Fox Hill and Brunnerton, except that it is desirable to make a thorough investigation concerning all practicable routes, with the view of estimates of their expenses being arrived at. 4. I strongly desire to remove the impression which seems to exist in Nelson that any foregone conclusion has been come to. I have, &c, Julius Vo&el. Premier's OfSop, Wellington, September 1, 1874.
