RAILWAY.
We (New Zealand Herald) have heard from very good authority that Rewi and other influential chiefs are very anxious that the projected continuation of the Auckland and Waikato Railway should be constructed at as early a date as convenient. It is said they fully appreciate the many and great benefits which would accrue to them as. landowners by having the iron road running through their now useless broad acres. The knowledge of such a feeling among influential Maoris ought to influence the Government, as no doubt it will, to avoid all unnecessary delay in making the necessary preparations for commencing the good work. If the Natives give sections of land to the Government, the enhanced value of their own will be very. gr/eat, while the sale of that given to the Government will provide a large portion, of the entire cost. . .
