Shannon News, 19 May 1922, Page 3

Every line of war news printed : n the New York Times from start to finish of the conflict has been clipped, mounted to red-bordered sheets, submitted to a three-ton pressure io extract moisture, and hound in a consecutive history of more than 200 volumes and 81,242 pages, at a cost of £4OOO. The war news is preserved in as permanent a form as skill can compass, and what is probably, the. most complete scrap-book ever*made is now 4n the library of the Princeton University, U.S.A. “Some railways—branch lines—are not paying, and I think we shou’d make an experiment by withdraw.tig, or rather suspending, the service for the time being and let the Railway Department itself operate a few motor lorries.” The foregoing remark was made by the Prime) Minister at Feilding, in stating that the advent of mo-' tor lorry traffic was probably a good thing for the country. He added that possibly in some cases it would he cheaper for the Department to maintain a motor lorry service, in preference to running a train two days a week on a non-paying line.
