NEARING COMPLETION
South Island Trunk Railway (PA.) CHRISTCHURCH, June is’ The big job now on the South Island Main Trunk railway would be ballasting and platelaying, declared the Minister of Public Works (the Hon. H. T. Armstrong), who has arrived in Christchurch after a two-day inspection of the work. By the end of the year most of the work on the railway would be finished, he added, although much would be dependent on the weather and other influences. Flooding had damaged some construction work, paticularly at the Clarence and Hapuka Rivers, where approaches to bridges had been washed away, but nowhere was the damage severe. Nearly all the rails needed were now on the job.
