DUNEDIN.
Friday. The following telegram from the Minister of Public Works, addressed to Messrs Oliver, Bastings, and Driver, Ms.H.E., has been placed at our disposal: " You must be under some misapprehension re the Addington workshops. You cannot mean there are to be no workshops in Canterbury, or that the removal of existing workshops from Christchurch to Aldington is detrimental to Dunedin or implies that the principal railway workshops in the Middle Island are to be at Addington. The whole of the railway station is at Cbristchuroh is required for other purposes,, hence the removal of shops to Addington, as provided by the Appropriation Act. I regret this should offend the mercantile people of Dunedin. —J. Maoandbew."
