LONDON'S UNDERGROUND
RAILWAYS.
THE Underground Railway system of the English Capital is unique in the world, and for many reasons. In the first place. there is no other which carries such vast numbers of passengers (over a thousand rillion: a year!) within so limited an area. Again, because no system dealing with a problem in any way com- parable is so efficiently organized or worked. From the point of view of the engineer, the system as it zavi exists is a source of endless delight, But even the mere layman, only concerned to move rapidly and in confort from one part of the metu. polis to another, can hardly fail to be impressed by the marvels en- countered at every turn.
The full story of this great en- terprise is to be found in a recently published book entitled "The Ro- mance of London's Underground" by W. J. Passingham. The cook is divided into three parts dealing with the origin and development of Underground Railways; details TURKEY's decision to accept the of administration and equipment. invitation of the League Assembly to and auxiliary services such is tram- become a member of the League of ways and omnibuses.
