MORE TRAFFIC ON
THE THAMES.
MODERN PASSENGER BOATS PROPOSED.
An up-to-date Thames steam- boat service, which would relieve London's traffic congestion, is not to be overlooked by the Ministry of Transport.
The L C. C. Highways Commit- tes and Special Committee on Traffic think the Ministry should deal with the whole subject.
In a report presented to the L C. C. they suggest that any comprehensive plans for unifying the transport facilties of the metropolis should take into AC- count the possibility of greater use of the river.
Mr. Percy Harris, M.P., who has taken up the subject, putting his case before the Committee, aug- gested:
Municipal piers at points for short distance goods and passen- ger traffic.
Existing depots to be used 16 storehouses;
New depots:
A general inquiry to see how far the river could relieve land traffic.
Mr. Harris indicated that his proposals
wera not primarily directed to the reopening of a pas- senger steamboat service, although this was not necessarily excluded.
