NEW PLYMOUTH.
.. Thursday. A deputation of Waitara settlers waited upon Major Atkinson, and complained strongly of the excessive railway charges, and pointed out that a great deal of timber and other stuff was carried by cart and steamer in preference, to rail. Major Atkinson promised to represent the matter to the Minister for Public Works. : He said tenders would soon be called for railway extension to Inglewood. The Luna would shortly be. sent to remove the wreck of the Paterson in the Waitara. He had no doubt that telegraphic communication with New Plymouth would be completed during the summer. Major Atkinson does not address his constituents here. He leaves for Wanganui on Saturday.
