SYDNEY’S RAPID GROWTH
SERIOUS TRAFIIC PROBLEM. For some years past the rapid growth of Sydney’s traffic has given the awthorities there a great deal to worry about. Within a few years the population of the city has increased from half a million to a million and the end » not yet. Mr. C. Turbet, the chief traffic inspector, who paswed through Wellington en rout, to America says that he has seen the volume of traffic increase by leaps and hounds until the united efforts of oneway trams, motor-buses and a line fleet of ferry boats do not, give the satisfaction and transit security that citizen of a nourishing city stieh as Svdnev is entitled to.
The construction of the North Shore bridge and the erection of a central railway station (for a tube railway) at Hyde Park are not likely to give all the relief wanted, so Mr. Turbet has been commissioned to have a look round the populous cities of the United States and learn all he can as to the handling and control of traffic that may be applicable to many problems.
