TRAFFIC ON BLACKBALL LINE NOW RESUMED.
(Special to the “ Star. ”) GREYMOUTH, November 28. The railway line at Omoto subsided about two feet last night and had to be ballasted up again this morning. The Blackball service was resumed yesterday and has relieved the congestion of coal at the Blackball and Roa Companies’ binns, permitting resumption of work at both mines. The service will be restricted so that permanent repair work at the NgahereBlackball Bridge will be held up as little as possible. The following telegram was despatched by Mr J. P. Irvine, a member of the Grey County Council, to the Minister of Railways, the Hon F. J. Rolleston:—“On behalf of the residents of Blackball and district, accept their congratulations of the excellent work you and your engineers, overseers and workmen have done in re-erecting the bridge which means such a lot to the district.”
