The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 71

From John Reid & Sons, Agents, Dunedin

From John Reid & Sons, Agents, Dunedin.

In reply to your circular of 15th inst, we unhesitatingly deprecate any return to political control in the management of our Railways. During the period of the Commissioners' reign they have improved grades, increased and improved the working plant, accelerated trains, and facilitated through traffic, and in many instances have reduced rates, without, so far as we know, increasing them in a single instance. At the same time they have shown better returns than ever previously obtained, and, this being so, we say by all means leave well alone.
