RAILWAY ENTERPRISE.
SIGNS IN WELLINGTON. (Special to tho tc Star.”) WELLTXGTON, A pri 1 5. Is it a beginning of the new railway policy that the Railway Department will now accept checked luggage on the ferry wharf in Wellington, for delivery to any officered station in the South Island? This system has been inaugurated. although it has been refused for many years. Another improvement is the issue of tickets for Easter excursions from the Central booking office in Wellington for any South Island station where, there is an officer in charge. Wellington commercial men are urgin'’ the Railway Department to adopt a schedule of standard weights for packages, so as to avoid weighing standard lines of biscuits, jams, and other commodities in containers, the weight of which hardly varies an ounce. This system would greatly facilitate the handling of* goods.
