Westralia’s Tattered Railway?
BLAME THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT PERTH, May .21. The Labour Minister of Railways states that £500,000 is required to put the railways in safe running order. Thirty-six locomotives have been sidetracked owing to lack of repairs and eight hundred vans and waggons are similarly laid aside. The Minister says the neglect arose despite official appeals for attention because ' the previous Government desired to make a good financial showing. The Treasury is now empty and the Government is being stormed with appeals for unemployed relief work.
