A Railway Grievance.
TO THE EDITOR OF THS STAB. Sir, — Will you kindly allow me space in your columns to ventilate a grievance, which affects many business people of Christchurch ? If they happen to have the misfortune to be under the necessity of transacting business in the Railway Goods | Department, and should ask to see the manager, they will in three cases out of four find him conspicuous by his absence, and are told they will probably catch him at the passenger station. They will then ascertain (if it is their first transaction) that the station-master and the goods manager are one and the same person. It then frequently happens that when one arrives at tke passenger station, the station-master and | goods manager combined has gone to the very place so recently visited by the unlucky business person, and so things go on, playing at " hide and seek," as it were. I think, Sir, it is quite time the authorities were made acquainted with this kind of thing. Let the station-master attend to his important duties, and the goods manager to his, and thus save the public much annoyance and loss of time, to which now they are continually subjected.—l am, &c, REMEDIUM.
