From A. Lorie & Co., Auctioners, Dunedin.

We have your circular of 15th, re Railways In reply we can only say that having invariably experienced the greatest satisfaction in our dealings with the Railway Department page 29 under its present management, we should be very sorry to see a change of any description. We do not of course intend to convey that we see no room for what in our opinion would be improvements in minor matters, but we must say that when we have thought it necessary to call the attention of the Commissioners to such we have always experienced the greatest courtesy; and, speaking from memory, we believe that in every case the suggestions have been acted upon We quite fail to see what more could be done under any management, and as it appears to us that any change can only be for the worse, we think it best to leave well alone. We may add that although we represent a very great number of producers, we very seldom hear a complaint against the management of the Railways.
