Besides the adverse report by the Royal Fine Art Commission, the Surrey County Council has strongly criticised the scheme.

“DISASTROUS

HOPES FOR RAILWAYS". FUTURE

POWERS ON THE ROADS

"From the point of view of the. railway service, the year 1928 has been disastrous," states Mr. J. H. Thomas, M.P., in a New Year's message to "The Rallway Review," the organ of the National Union of Railwaylen.

"There have been several serious railway accidents, resulting In loss of life, which is deployed by all ranks of the service; and there has been such a fall in traffic receipts as seriously to threaten the economle position of the railway companies,

The plaintiffs admit a rebate of $4.40 should have been allowed in respect of a cask which was returned and which will reduce their claim to $565.60. The sum of 306 has been paid into court.

The Task Ahead

Mr. C. T. Crump, Industrial secretary of the N.U.R., writes:

"During 1920 I am hoping to ser a great advance in the direction of augmenting rail services by rail- way-owned road motor transport. I believe that during the next few years our Industry will be trans- formed from purely rail to a great rall and road transport system. We cannot stem the tide of invention, nor is it desirable that we should, even if we were able.
