I hereby certify that the publisher's lists and other records disclose that the circulation of the “New Zealand Railways Magazine” has not been less than 20,000 copies each issue since July, 1930.

Deputy-Controller and Auditor-General.

The Stratford Railway.

As announced by Mr. H. H. Sterling, Chairman of the Government Railways Board, the StratfordOkahukura railway line is likely to be opened for regular traffic on September 3. The line has not yet been finally inspected on behalf of the Railway Department, but a preliminary inspection has been made and it is not expected that any difficulty to prevent the working of the line on the date named will arise.

Special cars for the new service will be attached to the Limited express from Auckland on the nights when the train is being run to New Plymouth. The additional loading will be made possible by the use of the new “K” engines, which have an ample margin of power to haul the heavier load and still maintain the present schedule. The first train under the new time-table will leave Auckland, connected to the Limited express, on Sunday, September 3.

The time-table for passenger trains is as follows:—

The departure time from Auckland will be 7.0 p.m. on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and from Taumarunui at 12.45 a.m., to arrive at New Plymouth at 6.1 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. From New Plymouth the train will leave at 7.10 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and from Stratford at 8.31 p.m., arriving at Auckland at 7.6 a.m. the next day.

Answers To Correspondents

R.D. McC.—Accept, with pleasure. L.C.H.—Sorry, no space. C.W.T.—One good, but too general. The other too hard on the road. W.F.H.—Your Wellington has a refreshing touch. J.C.—Can you blame her? The clouds and the moon and the sun have been done to tears. H.M.G.; J.H.L.; D.C.; M.E.L. (two);—all accepted. Include some really fine lines.

Note.—A large number of contributions, exhibiting much literary talent and excellent in themselves, have been withheld meantime, and owing to space limitations it is doubtful whether we will be able to print them. We would be glad if writers would realise that the nonappearance of such articles in the Magazine is governed entirely by the above consideration. The average quality of the MS. submitted is distinctly good.—Ed.
