NAPIER RAILWAY NEEDS
(Per Press Association.)
NAPIER, April 10
Mr J. V. Brown. M.P., interviewed Mr Mac Donald, Minister of Public Works, on the latter pasing through Napier yesterday, to urge greater expedition in the prosecution of work on the East Coast Railway. Mr Brown pointed out that at the present rate of progress it would probably be ten years before the first section was completed. The Minister promised to give the matter attention.
Mr Brown also urged the necessity of speeding up the express train from Xapier to Wellington by cutting out the small stooping places. Mr Mac Donald said he recognised the need for this. The member for Napier informed a reporter, as an example of the slowness of" the trains, that he had come down in his car, left it at the station just as the train was leaving, and when he arrived at Hastings the car was waiting for him.
