Temporary Plan
for Operation r. RS
in New FOundland

st. Johns, \. F.. July "A bill en-
hodying the plan for government
operation of the railroad system for
one year from July ! was introduced
in the leg islature today by Premier
Squires.
The proposal, which is based on
suggestions made by Sir George Bury,
a Canadian railroad expert, in a re-
port to the House on Monday pro-
vides that the government shall meet
all operating costs up to one and a
half million dollars beyond which
figure the expenses shall be paid by
the Reid-\ew Foundland company,
lessees of the lines. Railroad service
would be considerably reduced. The
trans -insuiar express. now running
three days week would be operated
two.
The central section of the trans
insular line. with a trackagc of "a
miles. would not be run next winter,
nor would four branch lines with a
mileage OF 339. All local service is
now being reduced.
The Legislature adjourned after
presentation of the hill to allow the
opposition party to consider the pro-
poSais.
