MINISTER FOR AGRICULTURE.
INTERVIEWS AT NAPIER.
(Ter Press Association.! NAPIER, Sept. 13. The Hon. T. Mackenzie, Minister for Agriculture, received deputations today, one of which urged him to use his influence in having a survey made of the route of the East Coast railway between Napier and Gisborne. Questioned by a reporter regarding the date 'fixed for the Rangitikei election, Mr. Mackenzie said that the Government had not the slightest idea that it would clash with any local fixture, “but it seems to me, he added, “that in future the difficulty will be to fix the date of any function without clashing with a race meeting, a football match, or a Government holiday. We ought perhaps to have a scale ■drown up of the few days which may be regarded as free from those fixtures.
