Mr. WHITE said that the line could be completed ty. g

of the line so far. It would not preclude them from Ca;

it could be worked by horse traction at the rate of twil /1;0d

In answer to a question from a PROPRIETOR, the

Mr. DUNCOMBE said there was no chance of doing oaf
good with it as it was, or of the Great Wea.e'n
