RAILWAY IN HAMILTON
i. o MOVE TO DIVERT TRAFFIC. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Hamilton, Last Night. A scheme for deviating the railway through Hamilton, between Frankton and Ruakura, was discussed to-day at a conference between borough representatives and leading railway officials, Messrs. Widdop, Rodie, Casey and Roussel. Hamilton traffic is greatly hampered by the railway with six level crossings in the town. The need for further outlets is urgent. The railway officials are apparently unfavourable, stating that American railways are now endeavouring to bring lines and stations to the middle of towns, whereas the Hamilton scheme would divert the line to the outskirts.
