Public Works Statement.
RIMUTAKA DEVIATION.
The detailed survey of the proposed deviation of the Rimutaka Railway between the Upper Hutt and Woodside, via the Tauherenikau route, has been completed.
Application having been made to have a trial line run for a route by way of the Wainuiomata Valley, instructions have been issued to the Inspecting Engineer to make an examination of this route so that a comparison may be made of its supposed advantages as against those of the Tauherenikau route.
