An Appreciation

An Appreciation

In a recent letter to the District Traffic Manager, Invercargill, the Director, Henderson and Company, Ltd., Invercargill, comments as follows on the assistance rendered by the Railways Department in connection with the prompt dispatch of the steamer s.s. “Port Hunter,” from the Bluff:—

“This steamer, which berthed at midday on Saturday, 16th July, and sailed at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, 20th July, discharged 1,300 tons of general cargo (780 tons of which was in one hatch) and loaded 43,172 packages of frozen meat, etc., 3,466 crates of cheese, and a quantity of general cargo.

“We consider this a remarkably smart despatch and feel that it would not have been possible of achievement had it not been for the excellent service rendered by your Dpartment. We therefore desire to place on record our appreciation of the very fine work done by the Railway Department, and express our thanks to the Stationmaster at Bluff and his staff, for the courteous and efficient manner in which they assisted us.”
