WORK FOR EIGHT THOUSAND
Work for 8000 msn for varying periods will be provided by the New South Wales Government's decision | to construct 200 modern trams. The new cars will cost about £600,- ! 000, and, assessing the costs back to the production of raw materials, approximately £500,000 will be available for wagos. That amount would provide work for 2000 skilled artisans and labourers for one year, but the distribution will be such as to provide employment, directly and indirectly, for 8000 men for periods ranging from one month to one year. Construction may start within two months, and the first of the new cars should be in service in about eight months.
