LYTTELTON TUNNEL
DUPLICATION QUESTION. By Telegraph— Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. A deputation of Christchurch and North Canterbury members of Parliament waited on the Minister for Railways and the Prime Minister to-day to present the resolutions passed at a meeting at Christchurch urging the speedy duplication and electrification of the Lyttelton tunnel. The*Hon. J. G. Coates said that about a year ago he held a conference with the commercial authorities and others with the object of drawing up a comprehensive report on the development question, but the strike and other things interfered. The result would be incorporated in the railway statement, ! and a special paper which would be presented to Parliament next week. Mr. Massey pointed out that a lot of public money had been spent on the Otira tunnel and the Lake Coleridge scheme. He could not add to what Mr. Coates had said, but hoped to congratulate Canterbury people soon when a start was made on the work, lie could not say when it would be finished.
