SOUTH ISLAND TRUNK
SURVEY AT CLIFFORD BAY [ Per tress Association. ] BLENHEIM, June 15. On Saturday the Chief Engineer ot the Public Works Department (Mr F. W. Furkert) accompanied by Air L. May (District Engineer) visited Clifford Bay, near Cape Campbell, where a marine survey is being carried out to de termine tho suitability of the locality for the main terminal of the South Island Alain Trunk railway. Air Furkert returned to Wellington without making any comment. It is understood that the survey is still only half completed owing to bad weather being encountered and owing to the fact that the surveyors have at their disposal only a small rowing boat, but tho work is to be pushed on with the utmost despatch presumably so that the data obtained may bo used for the guidance of the Railway Board as a supplement to the special report on the subject which is known to be in existence.
