They expected from the Great Western a great many things, and, most important of all, efficiency and economy. It was their duty to assist the Great Western Rail- way in these matters so far na efficiency was concerned.
Sir William Seager thought thes should take the broad view, and as business men support the railway company in every way to ocene- mise.
He considered, however, that the burden should be spread over as large a number of men aa possible. The interests of the G.W.R. and of the Chamber were Identical, and he wanted an as- surance from Mr. Carpenter that the facilities provided would be available In the event of trade coming back. In that event be would move that they co-operate with the G.W.R. in every way in their power to reduce ormous cost of dealing with traffic, as he felt it would be to the ultimate benefit of all. · ·
