North Island Main Trunk Line.

United Pres3 Association—By Electric Telegraph Wellington July 28

A deputation of North Island members waited on Sir J. G. Ward and the Hon. W. Hail-Jonee this morning, to urge the speedy construction of the North Island Main Trunk line. They suggested that the loan should be increased in order to bring about the desired object. If neces sary they would vote for an additional £700,000 or £750,000 for the work.

Sir J. G. Ward, in replying, said the Government was not going to be dictated to. When they had decided on a course of action they were not going to be dictated to by members. The proper way would be to get another Government if the members were not satisfied with, the man ner in which the North Island Trunk line was being pushed on. The Government would not be faced in the matter, and he advised members to have patience and await the Public Works Estimates. .

He ridiculed the suggestion of one of the deputation that the line could not be completed under four or five years. The de putation had taken the step of condemning the Government before they saw whether the Government could fulfil its promise.

The Hon. W. Hall-Jones pointed out the progress that was being made ou the line, and said the delays that had occurred ■ were not due to the co-operative systems, but to the contract work.

A deputation of South Island members waited on Sir J. G. Ward, and informed him that they had passed a resolution recommending that no larger relative appropriations be voted this session for railway construction thau was voted last session. They did not want to force the hands of the Government. All they wanted was that in the allocations a fair propor tion should be observed.

Sir J. G. Ward said the representations of the deputation would have his fullest consideration. A request had been made to him that morning to increase the loan proposals by a quarter of a million, to which lie gave a flat refusal. The pro posals of the Government were as much as the colony should go in for, for carrying out public works at the present time. That the North Island Trunk line should be finished at the earliest possible date they would readily admit, but they might depend on it that the Government would do that which it believed to be fair to the colony as a whole, He was inclined to think that the pro posals in the Public Works Statement would be found to be fair and reasonable,
