I duly received your circular re. the most desirable form of Railway Management. I have the very strongest and most decided opinion on the subject, viz., that the management of recent years by a non-political Board has given infinitely more satisfaction to the majority of settlers throughout the colony, than was ever obtained under direct Government supervision, Personally it will be a matter of extreme regret to me if the management is taken out of the hands of the Commissioners.
