At a public meeting held in CallaIl,
the projected railway for the town
and adjoining districts was approved
and steps were taken to strengthen
public opinion on the matter. The
necessity for the proposed railway is

still has q number of industries, they
are going back rather than forward
owing to the absence OF railway COM
munication. There are seven large CO.
operative creameries within radius
of six miles Of it, including one in the
town itself. The latter takes in about
! 49,, 900 gallons Of milk annually, and
the others an average Of about 10000
gallons. Most Of the butter from these

carpentry work, the timber they use
