The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 71

From R. A. Chaffey. Station Manager. Maheno

In reply to the circular re Railway Management issued by your Soceity. I beg to say that I am strongly in favour of the Railways being worked by a Council or Board entirely free from political control.

The present system has worked better than any system as yet tried in New Zealand, but had the original idea been carried out, viz., obtaining the services of a man thoroughly experienced in the Railway systems of England or America, and such a man to be Managing Director of our colonial Board, our Railways would, in my opinion, have been worked to greater profit.
