'THERE had recently been a great surge I of analysis, thought and study of transport problems, but at the moment they had a hiatus before the development of the necessary solutions, said Mr. Frank Lemass, Institute president, speaking last Friday at the annual dinner of the northwestern section of the Institute of Transport, The spate of investigation into the industry had been brought about by a feeling that there was a deterioration in transport generally. Probably the most important aspect concerned urban transport and congestion, he said, although this was really preceded in importance by the matter of road accidents. Did anyone know what would happen if British Railways gave up trunk haulage? Would that produce chaos on the roads? If so, somebody should decide how much of the total B.R. should take.
Prof. Sir W. Mansfield Cooper, vicechancellor of Manchester University, said he trusted that the members were aiming at a position in which man was not oppressed by the ironmongery he had created. They were engaged in the great task of inducing an ordered mobility in society—or at least he hoped they were. A technical society could not be maintained unless the quality of the human mind and character progressively improved. As he saw it, the Institute's 'job was to bring quality of mind and quality of spirit together.
During the dinner, Mr. Lernass presented this year's special B.E.T. prize to Mr. D. E. Hindle, 39-year-old inspector at the Burnley depot of Ribble Motor Services Ltd.
