SUBS1DIES for the railways to relieve road congestion were recommended on Monday by Mr. R. J. Gunter, president of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association, at the Association's conference at Margate. He was making a case for the compulsory transfer of traffic from road to rail.
The Government must eventually declare that road traffic must be restricted, and that the nation must be given an efficient railway service, he said. The Government must decide what means of transport was to be provided in the interests of the community. The matter could not be left solely to private interests.
