[uonnmiea jrom rage xwo). After having spent thirty days in these explorations, I nays arrived, at/the con clusion that in order to properly open up the enormous tract of moat- valuable country (which has been lying waste for so many years), it is absolutely necessary that both the central and Mokau-Ohura (to Stratford or Ngaire) lines should be con structed, and it is to be regretted that the colony is not in a position to construct both lines at once, as it is beyond all doubt that the land which would thus be opened up is capable of supporting a very large population to their own and the colony's mutual advantage; but as only £1,000,000 is at present available, it would, I think, be better to complete one line rather than to commence work on both without being able to finish either. Jt therefore devolves upon me to make a recommendation as to which route should be immediately proceeded with, and in making this recommendation, I have thrown aside nil local considerations, and looked at the matter strictly from a colonial point of view, and on that baßis I recommend the construction of the cen tral route as being the most advantageous in the interests of the colony at large. Its advantages over the western route are many. . Ist: It will open up a far larger area of open country fit for immediate settle ment than tho western route, and also a far greater extent of good available timber (especially totara), which is an essential point. 2nd: Seeing that for some years to come the revenue will have to be derived principally from passenger traffic between the chief centres of population— Auckland and Wellington — besides the large amount of tourist traffic that would bo created during tho summer months, thore is no questioning the immediate ad vantages which the central route would have over the western. 3rd. A good proportion of the Mokau country will be opened up by this line twenty miles at least. 4th. A most serious objection to the adoption of the western route is the steep ness- of the grades in the existing line be tween SVaitotara and Rangitikei, because ii this trunk line is to be of any benefit to the travelling public it will be necessary to run a daily express service between Auckland and Wellington, and vice versa, which would be very difficult of accomplishment if the western route were adopted. sth. The line by this route passes through the centre of the country, and the distance between Auckland and Wellington would be 428 miles only by this route, against 470 by the Mokau-Stratford route. Before finally adopting the central route, however, the question of ways and means must te taken into consideration. Only £1,000,000 has been voted by Parliament for the construction of this trunk line, and its estimated cost by the central route is £1,365,000, as against £1,036,000 by the western route. In considering this ques tion, therefore, Parliament must decide whether an additional £400,000 shall be borrowed, and the central line con structed, this line being undoubtedly the best one from every possible standpoint, or whether the western route shall bo adopted for the reason that an ad ditional authority for £30,000 would be sufficient in that case. Be the route what it may, however, it is imperative in the interests of the colony as a whole that this railway shall be oonstruotad as rapidly as possible, and this fact should not be ignored or overlooked, because* it would entail a lasting injury to the colony generally to retard the progress of the North Island now, when the native mind is so favourable towards us. Whatever adds to the wealth and population of the North Island must add to the wealth and population of the South Island also. In conclusion, I would strongly urge that as soon us the route is absolutely deter mined by Parliament, steps should be taken to secure a portion, if not the whole, of the land for some distance upon both Bides of the line, either by way of endow ment from the owners or by purchase, at its present value, and too great care cannot be exercised to prevent any of these lands from falling into th( hands of speculators, as it is evident that the enhancement in value of these lands b j reason of the construction of the railwaj through them should be the property ol tho State, as a whole, ar.d not of individual speculators. / . Here my report ended. I may, how ever, add that there can be no possible doubt but that the advantages that will accrue from the construction of the centra] line will be innumerable. The adoption of thin line was the only means where by the whole of our commercial oentres In the North Island would be connected by rail within reasonable time, And the more the question is thought out by unprejudiced men, the more will it be seen that the decision arrived at is the cor rect one. For example; From Te Uira, on the central line, the provincial district ol New Plymouth and the West Coast of the North Island can be connected by rail with Stratford or Ngaire. It would be a fatal mistake to connect with Stratford from the point mentioned by Mr J. M. Clark at the meeting of -the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, viz,, from a point between the Wainika and the Wan ganui River, as by so doing, the most valuable part of the open country that Hot between the central line and the West Coast from Mokauite North and nortli westwards would not be opened up). And from a point at or near Turangarere, Napier would be connected either at the Spit or at Hastings by a branch line 70 or 8C miles in length, thua connecting. Napier, Wellington, and the whole of the West Coast and New Plymouth with Auckland; whereas if the Stratford line ' had been first adopted,' in mj opinion neither the central nor tho Napiei connection would ever have been obtained. When this programme (whioh I trust will not be long delayed) is carried out, nothing will then be needed to complete our trunk system in the North Island, save the exten sion from Helensville northwards.—Youre sincerely, j E.
