AUCKLAND'S INDUSTRIES.
Year.? ago, when the expenditure of the loans came to be balanced as between the North and South Islands, it was found that the latter was ahead by many millions on railways and immigration. The South Island had got the control of the Public Works and Immigration expenditure, aud spent it right royally. Something of the same sort appears to be going on now. if I can credit <i little bird that whispers. The Auckland Timber
Company sends kauri to Christ church, which comes back in the form of coal waggons for the Ivamo Coal Company at :v cose of £80 for freight alone, about double the cost at which they could bo turned out in Auckland. If the people of this Provincial District submit tamely to such extravagances, I have no objection, but the subject is one that requires ventilation. Perhaps the Telephone will take the hint in the interests of the working classes of Auckland.
