THE VICTORIAN RAILWAYS.
&.' elbourite, October 2.
Mr Williams, the Minister for Railways, replying to a deputation, gave some idea of the railway policy ot the new Government. He said that it was proposed to proceed- with railway construction where good traffic was likely to be secured, and a promising country could be developed. The lines should be light ones. They would encourage cheap excursions, conducted by the Government instead of by outside agencies ; and it was also probable that notices of dismissal in the construction branch given by the late Government would be withdrawn.
M elbohrne, this day.
The Government propose to spend half-a-million yearly in railway construction.
