THh alteration of the raihvaw time-table as proposed to come in force on the opening of the Cambridge and Morrinsville bianuh linns is at present engaging the attention of the settlers in the Cambridge and Morrmsville districts. At the meeting of the Pi.iko County Council, on Wednesday last Cr Maclean brought the matter under the notice of the council He said he noticed that the above branches were to be opened for trafriee on 19th August. The train he noticed was advertised to leave Auckland as 11 o'clock, ai living at Cambiidgc at six o'clock in the eveniug. lie was surpused at such an arrangement as this, a3 settlers living some distance from the lailway would not be able to reach their homes that night, the loads in the winter time being exceedingly dangeions for night travelling. He thought the council should lepresent the matter to the Government, and pievail upon them, if possible, to stick to the present horn for lea\ing Auckland. By this they would leach Cambridge at 8 o'clock in the afternoon, and would thus be able to pioeeed to their lespectho homes while it w.is still d.iylight — Cr. Filth also spoke on the niattci. lie was awaroth.it Cleat di^ati^iaction pi e\ ailed lespecting the piopuMjd iiltiiiitiou, <:• ncuallj among the setllus m the outlying distuets-.— it was then agieed, on the motion of Cr. Filth, that the cuimril make lepicsentations to the milway authoiities respecting the piopoi-ed time table, it being alto gether unsuitable to the wants of this distnct AKo that other bodies concerned he wnttcn to, abking them to co-opciate witli t'ne coumii in the matter.
