KEPT IT DARK
HIGHER FARES SCHEME POLITICS AND RAILWAYS By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 10,35 a.m. SYDNEY, To-day. The new Premier of New South Wales, Mr. T. R. Bavin, states that the Railway. Commissioners in June last, in a letter to the Works Department, outlined a scheme for an increase in passengers’ fares and freights, to cover the costs amounting to £1,728,000. “This letter,” says Mr. Bavin, "was evidently suppressed, owing to the effect it would have on the public mind." The commissioners’ proposals included an increase of 6 per cent, on all country fares, 7 per cent, on sec-ond-class suburban fares, an increase of 10 per cent, on most classes of goods traffic; also an increase in tramway fares by Id on two, three and four sections.—A. and N.Z.
