BONG KONG DAILY PRESB, LTD. 11 Ias Houss Brazı, Hong Kong.

These are a few of the far-roach ing proposals for the improvement of the whole of Britain's traffic system made by the Royal Commis sion on Transport,

All who travel are affected by the recommendations — motorists, | people who use the railways to get | to and from "work, and millions of daily tramway passengers. Har- bours, canals, coastwise shipping also come within the scope of the

report.

The Commission was appointed in August, 1928, under the chair- manship of Sir Arthur Griffith- Boscawen, and has already present, ed two reports,

On these earlier reports the new traffic laws and highway code have largely been based

The main recommendations and observations of the Commission are:

Railways.

There has been practically no improvement in locomotive speed in this country during the last 80 Yours. Many of the present schedules are a positive invitation to motor competition.

Bervices should be speeded up and made more convenient to the travelling públic...

who joins a main linò train, at ita starting point and that great efforts should be made to accommodate passengers joining o'train at station: on the route.

The Commision doubts the wis dom of the railway companies' policy of ostablishing road servicos. themselves, and expressen the view that the money would be better ap plied to the electrification of their

Wo are satisfied that in many in-suburban lines. stances fares charged by the rail- ways have been excessivo, and |-

Wo venture to suggest that a general revision and lowering of fares would do far more towards the recovery of their passenger trafin than the methods adopted by them at present."

The Commission finds that the public objects to the irritating conditions" attached to cheap day and week-end tripa.

The Seats Question. Pointing to the fact that a pas- senger who books for a motor coach journey is assured of a seat and that a railway passenger is not, the Commission suggests that the rail- way companies should be placed under a statutory obligation to provide a sent for each passenger

Highways,

The Commission does not support the expenditure of "very large ad- ditional suma of public money on the provision of now arterial roads, but urges that the activities of the local road authorities and of the Ministry of Transport should be con- pentrated on:

of

Complete reconstruction many existing roads; Widening of roads; Improvement of road junctions and fines of sight;

Construction of by-pass roads; Strengthening of weak bridges; Freeing of toll-bridgesund roads; and

The progressive reconstruction of built-up areas.
