An Appreciation.

The Manager of the Otago Iron Rolling Mills Co. Ltd., Dunedin, writes to the General Manager of Railways, Wellington, as follows:—

We desire to express our appreciation of the services rendered by your Department in connection with the shipment of 1000 tons of scrap steel from our works to Port Chalmers by the s.s. “Ryoka Maru:” It would have been impossible for us to load this material at short notice, but the generous action of your Department in supplying us speedily with the necessary wagons enabled us to have the scrap loaded up in ample time.

We should also like to refer to the services rendered by Mr. S. Clark, Stationmaster, Green Island, the Transport Officials and the guard of the shunt, Mr. G. Lawrence, all of whom gave every possible assistance.
