Safety on the Road
AUSTRALIAN MEASURES Among the passengers by the Awateu yesterday from Sydney was Mr. H. H. Stirling, former chairman of the New Zealand Government Railways Board, who has been in Australia for the last six months. Mr. Stirling said that during his stay in Australia he had been interesting himself in transport matters. As was the case in Australia and New Zealand —and in other parts of the world—also great attention was being paid today to increasing safety on the roads.

The railways appeared to be entering on a new era of prosperity arising from the revival of trade and industry, and many improvements were being made tending to raise the standard ot comfort. “The depression seems to be a thing of the past in Australia,” said Mr. Stirling, “and every class of commercial undertaking is expanding.” ,
