In a memorial presented recently
to the Swiss government the ligue for

country asks that no more concessions
should be granted for the construction
OF Alpine railways.
1t is probable that concessions IN
the future may not be obtained so
easily as In the past, as there is a GER
tain amount Of feeling in the country
that these railways, though they GER
tainly appeal to large number Of Wis
