BAY OF PLENTY RAILWAY
LOCAL BODIES MEET PREMIER. By Telegraph.—Press association. Wellington, July 18. Sir Joseph "Ward informed a deputation representing the Bay of Plenty local bodies and interests, asking that the East Coast railway from Auckland to Taneatua be pushed on to Opotiki, that the matter would be considered. The raihvay was a long distance one, and not an isolated line, and was connected with the trunk system of railways in the North Island. In that respect the extension was within the category for consideration. . A report would be placed before the Ministers so that they might consider every aspect and judge for themselves ■whether it was a line that could be put in hand at the earliest moment. He stressed that they were in a year when the finances of the country required everything in the expenditure to be reviewed in the general interests of the people of the Dominion.
