I think no railway By3ten\fprthe*Sobtli Island is complete witliout a connection being established between the great trUnt line and the West Coast.

' A portion of the Four Million- 1 ioan ought to be permanentjy allocated to the construction ol this .line,: ans tWe short/ifer'ftymoirth line pushed on vigorously up the valley. A guoditfoach road, well bridged and graded, between Reefton, Ahayra, and the Canterbury Plains w urgently required, and ought to be completed within the next twelve months ; so, too, a"r«id from the Big..

As to education, the present Ac(t has its minor defeqfcs, but on the broad question of secular . education I am. . of opinion it, adopts ouly logica]|i ( jmd practical metn'od of State interference in educational' matters. In finance^ tbelieve j'wehfive at present as Colonial Treasurer 'the ablest 'man available, but I anvno't in favor of Government Insurance against poverty. It is aii Utopian scheme, which, if ever carried out, would press most heavily on the industrious. The system of administering justice in the Colony requires a radical reform. I hope to have an opportunity of detailing 'to' you the changes which for'niany years have appeared, to me necessary.
