Magazine Appreciation.

Speaking in the House recently on the 1927 Railway Statement, Mr. Allan Bell (Bay of Islands) said:—

“Some criticism has been levelled at the Railway Magazine,” and I think some mention was made recently of the cost of it. I wish to say that I think as far as the Railway Board is concerned that publication is one of the finest things they have done, because it has been the means of creating great interest amongst the staff, and not only among the staff, but amongst people outside. The newspapers all over New Zealand are continually publishing extracts from that excellent journal. I sincerely hope that although it costs a considerable amount of money that the publication will be continued.”
