Stratford-Main Trunk railway will now carry West Coast railway coal for Taumarunui. Such coal was formerly shipped to Auckland, but it will now be landed at New Plymouth, reports the “Taranaki Daily News,” which points out that this will be helpful to the Harbour Board in increased wharfage dues, and to the town through purchases of ship's stores. The “News” asks merchants to reciprocate by instructing merchants who supply them to use the rail.
