Being cable, no great speed is attained, but when the company’s franchise expires the Government will convert the lines to underground wire electric, having already the cable channels to use. It will then be one of the finest systems in the world. Fares at present are three pence (six cents) any distance, but when the Gov- ernment take them over, the fares will be considerably reduced. As car services I have seen in Amer- ica, the Los Angeles Railway Co., own- ed by Mr. Huntington, once largely in- terested in the Southern Pacific Rail- way, is the finest. The rolling stock is heavier than Sydney’s, in fact, al- most like steam railways, and the dis- tances run from the city further and speed greater than Sydney’s system. I have traveled at 46 miles an hour on a Los Angeles car. With that exception nothing comes up to Sydney. Brisbane and Adelaide, the third and fourth largest cities of the Common- wealth, have both Government street can be run advantageously .by a gov- ernment or municipality, long dis- tance railways come under the same category.

Highest Speed Attained. There is no limit to speed of; Sydney trains, even in the city. and they are reckoned about the fast-est in the world. In the city, the car lines are kept clear of traflic as far as possible. The cars run with a trailer and in the rush hours two trailers are connected. Fares. Penny sections are made (which is 2 cents), and the distance is frequently two or 'three miles, sometimes less. Being Government controlled, they re- duce fares in every case to a minimum, and in some cases run seven miles for 3 pence (6 cents), where the people want to reach a. holiday resort cheaply. The motorman is exposed to the wea- ther, which is severely felt at high speed. AThe inefiicien-cy of air-{brake power and claims for higher wages, were the other demands of the car- men. The wages were raised and a more eflicacious air-brake introduced. but wind-screens were not adopted. Mr. Hun'tingdon, the president of the Los Angeles Street Railway 00., told me 'he considered it a matter of pub- lic safety that m'otormen should be protected.
