They also asked for the opening of a level crossing at I lan same point to give access In the school and for the benefit of general traffic. Mr Coates said il would have lo he a very strong case indeed that .would induce him to put in any more, level crossings. They were a nightmare lo him already. He did not want lo lose any more sleep. He promised tu get Hie railway engineer lo visit the spot and would then ask Ihe ratepayers to meet the commercial agent of the railways lo try and get down to a business arrangement. The Department was up against prelty stiff competition, he said, arid was not prepared lo undertake any more capital expenditure until it was assured of something in return.
