SYDNEY’S TRAMWAYS
PUBLIC TO HAVE SAY NEW BOARD PROPOSED SYDNEY, Thursday. The Sydney tramways, which are now under Government control, are to be vested in a Transport Board separated from the Railway Department. The Government has prepared a Bill providing for the board and a separate trust. The trust will determine the policy and be an elective body, the president of which will be a traffic expert appointed by the Government. The other representatives will be elected by business men, shires, municipalities and the general public. All of them will receive fees.
The trust will have wide powers over metropolitan transport. It will be empowered to de-licence, as well as licence, omnibuses to prevent the overlapping of services. The present employees will retain all their existing privileges, but newcomers will not enjoy them.
