SOUTH AFRICAN RAILWAY SURPLUS.

The South African railway budget reveals a surplus of £3,000,000. All depression cuts imposed on employees in 1932 will be refunded. Freight on high-rated goods, and harbour charges j will be reduced; the speeding up. of | railway services will be continued, and the housing of the lower-paid employees will be improved. ' The reductions in harbour -charges are designed to encourage the ships diverted by the war from the Suez Canal to continue to use the Cape route.
