UNCHANGING "CHAMPION' 7 WATERFRONT RAILWAY. ''Champion" and Mr Harris, M.P., are as unchangeable In their views on this matter as the proverbial Ethiopian or Leopard in regrard to the colour and texture or their epidermic exteriors, or as the East is supposed to be generally. In our nature we are not so kaleidoscopic as the estimated cost or the Prince's Wharr, which Mr Henderson first told us was to/ cost £750,000, and now. like the rox's tall, Is reduced by'him to £480,000, and then with a wave or the chairman's mafcic wand, is dwindled, like the . asses' skin, to a trine or £320. The most charming- Teature or this mag-ic illusion is the reason given Tor this reduction in the cost, viz., "speeding up." What have the labour unions got to say? Mr Henderson"s original object In setting- down a high figure tor this work was to make the high cost an argument in ravour or the railway the reduced ratio or cost is a 50 per cent reduction in his argument. One member on Tuesday afternoon Is re'oorted to have said: "There never will he any satisfaction till the Harbour Board takes control or the railwavs along the waterrront." This is the day dream or the Harbour Board member —a network or railway lines along the, waterrront, witlTa viaduct to Freeman's Bay, and an Order-in-Council, which Mr Harris says they will not get. This railway connection is ror the purpose of reducing the handling- charges on exports, which caniot be undertaken by the berthagre space ror eig-ht liners which already exists between Queen's Wtoarr and Mechanic's Bay, and we are inrormed by the Harbour Board report that the* imports last year amounted to 1,080,087 tons, and the exports to 331,419 tons, and that the value or imports exceeded that or exports by £2,81Q,974. Surely the present /berthage space should be sufficient for the export or 331,419 tons annually. For unchanging consistency we recommend the invariable CHAMPION MUSCLE RAISER FLOUR, STANDARD OATMEAL, ROLLED. OATS, AND GRUEL MEAL. MEETINGS. / COURT PRIDE OF WAIKATO.
