THE ZONE SYSTEM.
m . • RESULTS OF THE AUSTRIAN EXPERIMENT. LARGE INCREASE OF TRAFFIC. Press Association,—Electric Telegraph.—Copyright, Vienna, July 28. The zone system has been tested on the Austrian-Hungarian railways from August to December both inclusive. In Hungary the passenger returns showed an increase of 139 per cent., and receipts 21 per cent. In Austria passenger returns were not so great, being 44 per cent, while receipts were slightly less. It is considered probable that the increase in traffic will lead to a large expense for new rolling stock.
