least should be kept separate therefrom, and this recommendation will acquire additional force when the various connecting lines are finished. The annual reports at present submitted upon the railways in both States might, we consider, with advantage be somewhat amplified, and we enclose with this copies of the latest Annual Administration Reports upon the Ceylon and Trinidad railways, which will serve as an indication of the nature and extent of the information given in regard to the Government railways in those Colonies.
93. When by the acquisition of the Sungei Ujong railway, and by the construction of the line connecting it with Kajang, the whole system of lines are joined, it may be found convenient to treat the line either from Port Dickson or from Kuala Klang via Kuala Lumpur, Tanjong Malim, Tapah Road, Taiping and Prai, as being by far the longest continuous mileage, as the trunk line, in which case the lines from Kuala Klung to Kuala Lumpur, or from Port Dickson to Kuala Lumpur, from Teluk Anson to Tapah Road, and from Port Weld to Taiping would become branches, and this, or some other arrangement, might, we submit, now begin to receive the consideration of the Government with the view of bringing the accounts gradually into accordance with the system of working that may ultimately be adopted,
94. We understand that on the Perak and Selangor railways the rates for both passengers and goods differ considerably, and that the classification of the latter is also different, and we therefore suggest, as the two systems will shortly be joined, that early steps be taken to bring about uniformity in the rates and classification, and that possibly this could be best effected by a conference between the officers of the two systems.
95. When all the extensions now under construction are finished, which will probably be by the end of 1901, the total length of the railways will be about 310 miles, and while we do not recommend any immediate change, we think it possible that the question of the advantage of bringing all the lines under one management may commend itself to the Government for consideration; if so, and if the matter be referred to us, we shall be happy to furnish you with our views upon it.
96. Before closing our report, we desire to place on record our appreciation of the manner in which Mr. Oliver has carried out the very important duty entrusted to him, and of the value of the complete information he has collected in regard to the railways in Perak and Selangor, in procuring which he was materially assisted by Mr. Hanson and Mr. Watkins, who at all times afforded him ready help.
We have, &c.,
