SYDNEY TRAMS TO STAY
NO INTENTION TO SCRAP THEM BRITISH TENDENCY QUOTED Reed. 9.25 a.m. SYDNEY, Today. “The Government has no intention of scrapping its trams,” declared the Minister of Local Government, Mr. M. F. Bruxner. “On the contrary, ft intends to ensure complete co-ordination between trams and buses through the new transport board.” Mr. Bruxner pointed out that he had received information from Britain showing that the trams there were not being scrapped. The tendency was rather to extend them. It was a wild statement to say that London was scrapping its tramway system, while in America, as in Britain, it was found that neither trams nor buses could adequately cope with the growing traffic. Precisely the same conditions applied to Sydney.”
